First note not playing

Post by BIG CRABS » Tue Mar 10, 2009 10:45 pm

When I make a track where a note starts right at the beginning, that note never plays. Its visible as a MIDI bar, but it wont play. How do I fix this?

Are you sure the note actually starts at the beginning? Double check to see that it isn't triggered before the actual clip starts.
This would happen sometimes if you are recording MIDI using a keyboard or whatever.

Afaik it's a known bug with some softsynth ( like NI absynth )

move the note start a couple of ticks and it's working most of the time

The above replies basically offer the solutions. The issue is not Live,m the same thing can happen in most other DAWs.

Simply, if your first note doesn't play, just move it a couple of ticks and it will probably play fine.

I am having the same problem with the Piano One VST from Soundmagic (aka Neo Piano).

The first notes are simply not being played - only when I move their start position up to 1.1.3 are they played...by which point the notes are coming in way too late.

Have you tried moving them by smaller amounts? Turn off quantize and move minuscule amounts.
