Odd midi problem

[stevesound]

Hi,

can't figure this one out -

I am using PT7.1, with a Nord Stage as my midi keyboard (going in Midi Port one, no usb connection or anything like that).

For no reason I can find, all of a sudden when I play in a midi part I get double the notes. For every note there is a tiny on/off midi note beneath it, which obviously causes a mess because I have to manually remove each little note to get the performance sounding right.

Checked the midi studio setup, nothing odd there, any ideas? It's driving me insane

thanks

Steve

have anything to do with the assignment of your midi channels?

I'm not sure. I have always had the input channel as "All" (for YEARS of ProTooling!!), then the output set to the plugin I need. Is there some option I may have clicked by accident?? thanks, steve

I have seen this and I tried looking for other threads:

It may have been a bug. Since you have an older version of ProTools that is the first thing I remembered. I'm not sure how exactly to find a list of specific bug fixes without going through all the new version read-me files..

It could have to do with your controller if it is sending on multiple channels (zones?) at the same time. Try setting the input to just a single channel to see if that makes the problem go away, then deal with the issue on the controller if need be..

I think when I saw the problem, I got rid of it by deleting preferences per the troubleshooting thread... I seem to remember it happened right after an update, but I'm foggy on the specifics..

Also, there is a "Remove Duplicate Notes" function, but I don't know if it is in version 7.1.. Search for that in your PT reference guide to see if it is.. It is an event operation..

man, what an annoying bug. I checked all the things you've mentioned (thanks for that!) to no avail. I just don't see why it's cropped up now all of a sudden. I didn't add any new software or do any updates, it's very irritating!

Besides making sure you aren't using a patch on the keyboard sending MIDI notes from multiple zones, you should also check your Default MIDI Thru instrument in Preferences>MIDI. Try changing it to a different setting to see if that fixes the problem.
