Controller 87 shouldn't DIRECTLY affect volume during playback. (meaning that if it gets sent out the MIDI port, it shouldn't normally affect the volume of a synth) Controller 87 is used for the nodes. The controller 7s (MIDI volume) that are added by RB in response to node editing is what actually affects volume during playback.

Controller 87 isn't saved to .MID files (only SEQ files) and it is only actually sent via MIDI out if "Disable Special Controllers" in the MIDI Out Settings is set to false.

Disable Special Controllers just means "don't transmit them during playback" So, make sure this is checked if your synth is really being affected by that particular controller.
