Subject: why am i getting stuck notes???
Original Message 1/16 21-Sep-00 @ 04:54 PM - why am i getting stuck notes???
it's my new SN2kb. it's a long time since i had such a technical bit of kit and it's causing havoc with my head. too much midi data i reckon.
it seems to be locking up all my midi modules one way or the other. even the kb itself has locked. if you press the keys lightly you can get away with playing but if you play hard, then there's trouble.
i've tried all the midi filters in the sequencer so it must be being sent from the kb and getting through somehow.
can anyone give me a checklist of possible reasons to look out for.
darn good machine though,
all the best

similar problems with it.
I'm using a MOTU MTP-AV USB interface.
When I play a few notes slowly on the SNII KB
controlling any of my synth modules, it seems
OK. But whenever I play quick passages, it
results in a lot of stuck notes on the module. It
doesn't crash them, it just sends a bunch of
random note-on's w/o note-off's. Pressing the
Panic button on the MTP clears it up.
The weird thing is that the stuck notes aren't
even ones I've played. I'll play in the octave
around C4 (no transposition on the kb) and get
stuck notes all over, especially in the lowest and
highest octaves (around C0 and G8).
One interesting thing to note is that when I plug
the SN2's MIDI Out directly into a module's MIDI
In, the problem dissapears, which indicates this
may be a problem with the MTP. I know there
are a lot of quirks with the new USB interfaces.
However, I tested the MTP with other
keyboards without stuck notes so I'm not exactly
sure where the problem resides.
Any help would be great. Luckily, I have another
master controller for the studio but I'd like to use
the SNII as a master controller for live gigs along
with the MTP as MIDI router.
Well, other than this MIDI transmission problem,
the SN2KB is just about the coolest synth I have
ever owned. I stayed up playing with it for two
days straight when I first got it. Luckily, it was
the weekend so didn't have to work... ;)
Best,
Charles

Try another keyboard to test the interface.
I think it's probably the interface. I had one for a while and it did not work properly, especially with sysex, so I reverted back to my trusty serial MIDI interface & its fine.
