Default Midi chaos (playing notes on its own)

Hi all,

I tried searching the forum but I didn't even know what words to search with. I have been trying to play simple midi on an instrument track through xpand2. I took off Xpand2 and tried Structure, same situation. Every other second it'll start playing some low-register 16th note jumble of a mess. It'll sometimes stop once I hit play, but most of the time it only starts once I hit play. I don't know what the deal is. I'm on the most recent version of Pro Tools 8 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and on OSX 10.5.6.

Has anyone ever experienced this? I could post a video if it doesn't make sense. Thank you.

-Ryan

I've not experienced this, but after you go through the digi steps for troubleshooting (at the top of this forum), then try to recreate this in a new session. It may be just as simple as needing to trash the preferences.

Hi, thank you for the pointer. I went ahead and went through all of those steps, deleted preferences, deleted digi databases, repaired my permissions, repaired the disk, rebooted. I created a new session, put up a stereo instrument track... same issue. Here's a video of what's happening, so it's easier to understand.

Note: Key your eye on the counter. I have no midi controller or keyboard hooked up. Forgot to mention Pro Tools 8 LE and 003 rack, if that makes any difference. Same thing with or without the Command 8 hooked up.

Click here for the video.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

-Ryan

Whilst you are waiting for an informed answer, try a complete reinstall.

Well... spent a couple hours uninstalling, downloading and re-installing. Created a brand new session, created a stereo instrument track, put xpand2... same exact situation.

Here's another video, but it's just the same thing

I can't help but laugh cause it's such a stupid thing to happen. Yet, it's really frustrating not being able to work with instrument tracks. Thank you for the tips so far. Any other tips?
