MIDI Input Problem - Selected Track vs Record Enabled

[salmonsound]

Can I control the function in PTLE 7.4 that enables midi input when the instrument track is selected? Sometimes I'm only able to get midi input when the track is record enabled.

Hmmm.. Your description of the problem is pretty short, but I'll describe what happens on my rig..

I have a couple inst tracks, inputs set to "all", a VI inserted on each.

If I select 1, then my controller triggers it. If I then select 2, the controller then triggers 2. If I then shift select 1, the controller only triggers 1.. No matter what order I shift select the tracks in, only 1 triggers..

If I then Rec enable 1, track 1 is triggered. If I then Rec enable 2, 1 is no longer rec enabled and the controller triggers2. If I shift Rec enable 1 and 2, the controller triggers BOTH 1 and 2.. When I disable record on both, then it is back to the way it worked with just selecting..

The only 2 options that I have seen that might affect this are "MIDI Thru", which I have selected, and an option in preferences>MIDI>Default thru instrument.. I have this set at "First selected midi track" This was the system default setting, I believe..

Are you saying your rig is not working this way?

Yes, it's not working that way. It seems like I have a bug or something.

It works like yours most of the time, but sometimes when I select an inst track with a VI it does not trigger. I must rec enable the track for it to trigger. Other times it will trigger if selected only. I don't know how to fix this. If I create a new session and use a session where this problem did NOT exist as the template, the problem will not be there in the new session. If I create a new session from scratch, the problem may or may not be there.

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to look into the things you said.
