Default PT First - MIDI Buffer

Hi there

Since the beginning, I got an issue with Pro Tools First, when using MIDI.

Not easy to discribe but I'm gonna try.

When I play something using a MIDI track (using an external MIDI keyborad or the internal virtual MIDI keyboard), the MIDI instrument sound normally during 4 or 5 seconds, then I could still see the MIDI events but without sound, during 3 or 4 seconds, then the sound is back, then it's quiet again, etc...

In fact, everything looks like if the MIDI buffer becomes full because of too many notes together. And, some seconds later, like if the buffer becomes empty, the sound comes back.

This is not a problem of playing a lot of MIDI track and/or MIDI instruments simultaneously but only when playing or recording.

Here is a YouTube link to show you the issue : https://youtu.be/bgbkfs_pY2c

So, if I add all the MIDI notes with the mouse (really long !! , I can listen to every MIDI notes without limit.

What can be the problem ? My MIDI driver ? My computer (a good i7 cpu with 16 Go RAm and a SSD) ? A PT First bug ? How can I test my MIDI config ?

Thanks by advance for you answers.

Note : I would be interested by upgrading to Pro Tools instead of PT First but only if I can solve this problem.
