Midi keyboard audio cuts out intermittently during playing

logic pro x midi keyboard sound cutting in and out. If I play single notes it is fine. If I play chords then the sound stops abruptly then resumes. Even more so when using the sustain pedal.

I have tried to adjust the I/O buffer size but it makes no difference. I'm using a Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2. Sound is being played through a Scarlett audio interface to my monitors.

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.0

Logic Pro X MIDI keyboard wrong note / Midi doing pitch bends randomly in Logic X Logic Pro X MIDI keyboard playing wrong notes and pitch bending on its own When I press the E note on my MIDI keyboard, the wrong note is played. Resetting the MIDI settings fixes the issue, but the piano plays a half-step off on its own. It is like it is doing a pitch bend on its own. I tried a different MIDI keyboard that works fine on a different computer, and the same error occurs. My projects are all half-finished, please help.

Garage Band + Keystation 88 mk II problem Hi! I've used Mac Mini M2 with Keystation 88 mk2 for a while and everything was super-fine. Than, suddenly, Garage Band started to act weird - when I press a key it plays the sound when I press it and then when I release it + it gets sustain - there is no way to play normally. I tried to switch polarization on sustain pedal, tried to reset midi drivers - still the same. After a while I downloaded some random MIDI keyboard app and it worked normally, so the problem is caused by Garage Band. Also, the app says there are 3 or 4 midi inputs, but the controller isn't seen as Keystation 88. I have no idea what to do - I tried to reset factory settings on Keystation, I tried uninstalling Garage Band and nothing changes.

MIDI notes playing infinitely/sticking when playing virtual instruments I've searched high and far to find an answer to this problem and it continues to be a thorn in my side. Pretty much rendering using Logic Pro X pretty much useless for me in the ways that I use it. The problem is this: when I am playing a virtual instrument, some midi notes will not release completely at random, and thus will ring out infinitely. I have to stop and start playback again to get them to stop playing. This problem has spanned multiple MIDI keyboards so it is definitely Logic X messing up. This is particularly frustrating as an organ player as the organ has infinite sustain. Countless sessions have been ruined by this bug and I'm pretty much at wits end trying to get an answer. There have been a couple of solutions posted on this and other forums (one that I will detail down below) but none of them have worked. Really have found no successful solutions to this problem whatsoever and it's utterly ruining my experience working with Logic X. Unsuccessful solution posted on Jul 2, 2015 in this forum: Quit Logic Pro In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button. Remove the "com.apple.logic10.plist" file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you've programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You might want to export your custom key commands before performing this step. Remove the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder. (Note this is the control surface settings file. You may need to set up your control surfaces again after deleting this) Restart the computer.
