How do you set a note to stop sounding at the end of the note (software instrument)?

In Logic Pro X, how do you make the note stop ringing after the length of the note has passed? My notes keep ringing on past the end of the selected note. This is a software instrument.

You have to better describe what your understanding of "ringing" is.

  • The Note is still playing (did' receive a note off command)
  • The note has a Release (like ring out of a packed instrument)
  • The note has some effects ringlet (revert sounding, delay, etc)


Hope that helps

I have a software instrument selected (french horn) and I use the pencil tool to add a quarter note... but the note lasts past the end of the quarter time period. When I add another quarter note, with one quarter space between them, the first note lasts well past the second note, so I get two notes sounding at the same time. How do I cut off the sounding of the first note before the second note plays?

Are you having this problem at the moment when you are physically playing the instrument, or when you play back a track upon which a performance of the instrument was recorded?


If the latter, do the note lengths in the Piano Roll Pane show that the instrument should no longer be playing? (I've been having a problem in 10.2 with recorded takes missing the "note off" events and resulting in the notes in the Piano Roll Pane stretching on and on, beyond what I had played. I'll be posting about that in a separate thread.)


If the note lengths aren't longer than expected, then I agree with Edgar ... look for a stray Sustain On event in your Event List. Or just check for it by playing the track and then seeing if the notes stop playing if you quickly tap your sustain pedal during playback.
