MIDI Bug?

Post by Bassic Dave » Fri May 09, 2008 5:26 am

Im recording midi into clips and the clips record midi cc data even when my controller is not sending data. Tried this on two different controllers, same deal. In midi prefs I have only track IN on, any ideas or is this a bug?

Thanks yall

it's more likely to be jitter from the controllers. Try unplugging them and see what happens then.

Often it can be things like a crusty mod wheel that send out crap data.

negatory.
If i double click on an empty midi cell, this creates a blank clip which i can record midi notes into with my controller without recording midi cc data. But when i hit the little record circle in a clip, this is when it records the midi cc data without turning knobs. If the problem was with knob jitter then it would record midi cc in both cases, i think this is something deeper.
thanks though.

an example.

-drop a vst into midi track
-click record cell button in the cell
-record midi notes, no problem, does not record midi knob cc.
-then move midi knobs without recording
-click record another cell in track

-record midi notes, but now midi knob data is recorded even without turning knobs!!

I actually stopped using a midi controller because of this, but now its doing it with my new controller also, so its not a controller issue.
