I actually downgraded to 7.4 for a midi intensive project. FWIW, I don't have an Avid midi I/O. |

Re: PT 8.1 CS2 - When Midi Timing becomes a variable !!!
Quick update - we're working on this and are compiling a database of plug-ins that exhibit this behavior. If anyone comes across one currently not talked about in this thread, please feel free to point it out.
I'm also looking into the MIDI IO issues - thanks for the video, Rail, it helps immensely! |

Re: PT 8.1 CS2 - When Midi Timing becomes a variable !!!
I came across this thread and just had to try this on my home system. (Win7x64, PTLE 8.0.4cs2, new Avid Mbox)
WOW. I made an instrument track, inserted xpand2, and picked an electric bass. i recorded a simple 4 bar straight sixteenth pattern with the buffer @ 128 (lowest setting for mbox on windows) played back at 128 just fine. i then changed the buffer to 4096 and played it back. my dog can play bass with more solid timing. everytime i would back the timeline and hit play again (still @ 4096) it would get screwier and screwier - different and random everytime. so i then changed the buffer back to 128. plays fine. i bussed the midi out to a mono audio track @ 128. acceptable results. i then made another mono track, changed the buffer to 4096, and then bussed it again. terribly terribly off - notes getting missed, long rests - goofy sustained notes... just really really whack all around.

Re: PT 8.1 CS2 - When Midi Timing becomes a variable !!!
I was just about to upgrade to 9 because I am tired of this problem and I didn't want to wait any longer for the CS update. But apparently, it still isn't fixed in 9!?!?
I guess I'll just "hold fast" until it is.

I tested with various plug-ins and only certain ones seem to exhibit the 'variable timing' problem. I see that 25Ghosts is using BPM - in testing (with someone else that has BPM - I don't have it to test with), it definitely exhibited this issue and, along with that, just having it installed seemed to cause ripple effects with other plug-ins. Removing it from the plug-ins folder and trashing preferences seemed to correct the problem. I'm still working through a grid as I find time. Currently what I'm seeing is: K4 - pass Massive - pass all other NI plug-ins - pass iDrum - fail impOscar - pass Superior Drummer - pass Guru - pass BFD - pass If anyone has data showing a pass or fail and would like to add it, it would be much appreciated. I'm using a session with quantized quarter notes and doing a bus record to a new track at 64 and 1024 sample buffers. The 'fail' is when the record pass varies in timing or does not line up (within a reasonable amount of samples) with the MIDI note. |

I thought that was VERY CLEAR... But apparently it wasn't..... I am a little troubled by the fact that a long-time digi(AVID) guy CANT even feel/sense that something is WRONG midi wise in PT.... But then again perhaps that is WHY we are having so many problems in the first place. Perhaps you should grab hold of some beta testers WITH midi experience !!!
