Or does the filter knob sometimes glitch out on its own?

Do you Only have this issue with cc 73?

What happens in mapping mode if it occurs, and then you hit Undo?

Is the keyboard the only midi device you have connected right now? Do you have any midi loop back or feedback programs installed? They would show up in MIDI Preferences. I'd turn them off if you're not using them.

- yep, just the keyboard...

When mapping, you choose a parameter on screen, then move a knob. Then choose another parameter, and move a new knob, right?

- yep!

When I say 'undo' I mean, like the menu Undo, or Ctrl+z. When midi mapping, some devices send several midi cc's at once. Like a kaoss pad. It'll send x AND y, an old trick is to map a parameter, and if the wrong cc shows up to hit Undo, then the Other parameter shows up, they map in order basically. So if you hit Undo, either you'll unmap the parameter entirely, OR, a different number will show up. If a different number shows up, that is a sign that somehow a second knob must have accidentally moved. Which is common for older keyboards, they get loosey goosey.

- it seems to do the same thing each time, if that makes sense. I mean, they're mapping to the same cc values each time,
ie the 'cutoff' knob always maps to cc74, 'resonance' to cc71, 'attack' to cc73, 'decay/release' to cc75, 'chorus' to cc93 and 'reverb' to cc91. Oh, and the slider to cc7. Weirdly the 'volume' knob maps to nothing, so I assume then it just doesn't send midi. Which is very annoying, cos I wanted to map that knob!
