Are your midi channels all correct and you haven’t inadvertently got input monitoring on that orchestral percussion kit?

id also check your midi events log as the tracking plays to see if it is picking up anything odd.

try checking your environment (if you’re confident about looking through that) for this project to see if there is anything amiss

finally check your mixer view to ALL tracks to see if there is a duplicate percussion track in there that’s causing issues. - I’ve had this when duplicating tracks using command D in the past.

Thanks for your response. A screen shot will only show my work flow and nothing looks out of the ordinary there. This is a unique problem and APPLE is working on it as well. On this one project, even with all tracks muted, when I play the controller it will play the drums for the orchestra Percussion kit and several other instruments like it is frozen on this instruments. Sometimes if I click on a track it will pay the instrument on that track but will continue to play the drums from the Perc kit (and other instruments I can't identify). It is almost like it is stuck on that on group of voices. WhenI add a new track it will not allow me to assign an instrument, it will only play what it is stuck on. Now all the tracks will play what is assigned to them, thank god that has not been affected. Also no other project is it doing this. They all work fine. I have compared the projects and see no difference in the settings but I still believe that has something to do with the midi controller settings and how they are assigned internally. I will also mention that I use no outside plugins-only Logic Pro.
