1/16th Note Midi sent to another Midi track only prints 1/8th

Post by mattjmeade » Mon Feb 17, 2025 9:21 pm

I have 1 Midi track with a simple 1/16 note pattern. I have a second midi track with the 1st midi output being sent to it. I can see the. 1/16th notes being received in the piano roll, but it will only record at 1/8th note speed.

Photo 1 is the midi being sent, photo 2 is the midi it prints.

There must be a workaround since you can record 1/128 + straight from an external midi controller.

Here is some more troubleshooting I've done.

When I go to the session I'm having this issue with, and delete absolutely everything, and then create the scenario from scratch, I still have the issue.

This makes me think its not a CPU thing.

Recording quantization ?

It was recording quantization!!
Spent a day and a half trying to source this issue.

Does anyone know if there is a visual icon in the interface to see when this is on or not?

Thank you. I remembered that my APC40 could have turned this on around the same time you posted this.

Please let me know if you know of a visual for this setting that isnt in the Edit Tab
