Hey All,
I'm trying to sequence my Korg Triton with Logic (and did Pro Tools as a test)
when i do this it works fine for a while then i tend to get hanging notes or stuck notes.
does anyone know the cause of this and or fix for this,
Thanks
Logic Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Do you have this cheap MIDIcable from Ebay? It has a protokol error that does exactly this with some instruments. Solution: get a better MIDI interface.
Or try a different USB port. Or use a USB hub, if you have USB 3. There are some issues with USB 3 ports that can be 'avoided' by going through a USB 2 hub first.
Thanks for the response Eriksimon,
i have a Digidesign MIDI I/O as my midi interface but it was doing the same thing when i had it hooked up directly to my Digi 003 Rack MIDI Ports,
i will try some different MIDI Cables as i have some cheap ones and some Monster Ones,
yes i was thinking about trying a different MIDI Interface like a MOTU but i dont want to buy one and then have the same problem, im not sure where i can just borrow one from,
i will try your suggestion
Tried some different MIDI Cables,
& different USB Port Same Problem,
do you think its my MIDI Interface?
No, sounds more like it is the Triton... you should investigate if it is sending the approp[riate MIDI - also, make sure that there's not somehow a sustain message being sent...
i think its sending the appropriate MIDI, also the sustain message is set to ( - ) Korg Standard which i think is right,
i had a Yamaha Motif ES 6 here the other day which i hired and it was also doing the same thing.
i still haven't fixed this fully,
(I'm working in cycle mode)
but i will say i went to File > Project Settings > Recording > Create Take Folders
& i haven't had any hanging notes yet using this mode
however when i go to File > Project Settings > Recording > Join When Cycling
the problem comes back.
i haven't done enough testing to see if this is actually the fix ill have to wait a few more days or weeks to find out. the only problem is i prefer to work in "Join When Cycling" mode.
are any of you guys using hardware synths with logic without any problems? if so please let me know
I will note this isnt happening in Pro Tools only Logic on exactly the same setup,
This is very odd, & i cant seem to find a fix yet.

DT,
If I'm not mistaken, ProTools uses a proprietary MIDI driver (as opposed to core audio) when used with Digidesign hardware. There's a chance it's the Digidesign "Core Audio/MIDI" drivers that are causing the problem. Do you know if the Digidesign/Avid core audio drivers are 100% Mavericks compatible.
You might want to check the ProTools forum and confirm that Protools uses a proprietary MIDI driver, I could be off base here but it would explain why you're not seeing this behavior in PT.
PC,
im using the drivers from here,
im using driver 11.1 which states it is mavericks compatible
i will say i tested on another computer ((fresh install of Logic and Mavericks)) (running an m box 2 & had the same problem) so i think youre right it could be either Digi's drivers or Logic itself, im just not sure what to do about it?

It's compatible up to 10.9.1... the 11.1 drivers were released in November so they may not be fully 10.9.2 compatible. Not sure what you're running.
PT uses a proprietary driver system, it doesn't use core audio/midi. The Driver download in the link you posted contains both drivers PT proprietary and Core Audio/MIDI drivers. Avid is traditionally behind on Core Audio/MIDI driver updates... who knows how old the drivers are.
Here's a link to the "Reaper DAW" it's an amazing piece of software that's only a few megabytes in size and adds nothing "extra" to you system, no resources being used or anything else, one of the cleanest pieces of software you're ever see, and extremely capable. If you install it (30-day trial period) you should be able to see if it's Logic producing the sticking notes, Reaper will use the same drivers Logic does. If notes still stick you will need a driver update from Avid/Digi.

i installed reaper and have been testing doing exactly the same thing as i was doing in logic,
so far no sticking notes, i will do more tests tommorow
very odd, i wonder what it could be?
Well, at this point it looks like it's Logic, from my limited experience with Mavericks and Logic I can tell you that on a couple of 4 year old Mac Pros (not mine) the program is very sluggish.
There have been severalother posts of sticking/hanging notes, mostly attributed to the interface being used but this is the first time I suggested trying another DAW that uses Core Audio. I don't think Reaper installs it's own MIDI driver... I will check on that.
Nigel, are you following this?
Looks like Reaper uses standard core audio/MIDI drivers.
i can confirm that my mac is Early 2009 Mac Pro,
its weird because nothing else in the program is sluggish its all running well as far as i can tell.
DT,
You did say you were woking in Cycle mode when this happens.. correct?
Could "note off" messages be missed?
In Logic's SETTINGS, go to MIDI and "Chase" There should be some settings at the bottom related to Cycle Jump. I would have "Notes" selected as well.
Also, in Logic's Preferences under the General Tab select Cycle and look at the settings there.
In case it's preferences related definitely give this a try:
Delete the Logic 10 preferences file AND the shared control surfaces file.
(Note: be sure and use the tilde ~ in the path name.)
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the 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 have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this.
If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro.
then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Be sure and remove both files. (with Logic not running of course) next time Logic boots these files will be recreated.
