The problem goes as follows . . .
The first note in any midi part does not play your lucky if you get a kind of click!
Track 8 on ch 8 is connected to an Mc505 and plays fine ( short example ).
Track 16 on channel 9&10 is connected to a Korg Triton and plays fine ( I'm using a Yamaha USB Midi Interface UX256 thats why so many tracks and midi channels )
Heres my problem.......................
Track 22 on midi channel 2 is connected to a Roland JV1010 and the first note will not play, but will if you loop the part...
if you create a part on a channel connected to say the Korg and drag it down to the JV1010 channel it works fine but if you then edit it - the first note won't play again.
On the tool bar the midi LED's ( Indicators )
show that the note is sent, but also show other information being sent ( maybe a midi note off message ) but in all editors the is no data except midi note information ( all filters are off in List edit by the way and chase events is ative )

Now as you can see this is driving me made,
shurely you cant have too many tracks or something like that?????

A "BrainSurgery" reply required....Hmmmm

Hi djaud,

Well, if the indicator shows something is sent, then SOMETHING is being sent. Sysex, control change, etc. Dig deeper.

As an experiment, insert a bar of 1/4 (or 4/4) at the beginning and put all program change, control change messages here.

If you're running alot of channels, it's likely that the sheer volume of program changes, controller changes (resetting things like pitch bend to zero on every channel), etc. are overwhelming the MIDI interface and synths: classic MIDI logjam. You may be throwing WAY TOO MUCH info at it in a short time.

Remember: it's only takes a little bit of time for this info. to be sent (and for the recieving synth to respond), but it won't work if you also try to play a note from beat one, measure one. Musical data is alot 'thinner' than program or control change info.

Hope it helps,
Chris
