My MIDI Rumbles!

.My MIDI PLAYS..BUT... BUT I GET A CONSISTEN LINE OF NOTES THAT RUMBLE!?

Even when I'm not even hitting a key.

Anyone have any clues about this?

Re: By way of settings & background:
I have my keyboards going through M-Audio's iControl.
Maybe my (possibly dumb) questions below are part of the problem:

1. Question: In GB preferences: Audio/MIDI the MIDI status does say there are two (2) MIDI inputs....but as far as the Drop-down Menu above that for Audio Input...the choice of MIDI is not there!?

2. Question: Why does it say: Two (2) MIDI inputs detected when it is just my ONE (1) keyboard going through M-Audio's iControl? When I disconnect my one MIDI connection from M-Audio's iControl than the MIDI status in Preferences says: Zero (0) MIDI's devices connected?

I set (I believe) all my keyboards MIDi settings to turn off reverb.

I downloaded a new driver from Yamaha.

Still no joy.

P.S. -

In another post Bob Lang1 suggested to:

"Try dragging the following files to the trash:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Audio/MIDI Configurations/Default.mcfg and

/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist"

But I don't even HAVE these files!?

Put Default.mcfg and com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist (in turn) into Spotlight and it should locate them for you.

Thanks Bob. I tried again. I got some new info that astounds me: GB track keeps playing this sustained note (and rumble) even when my Yamaha is turned off; even when the iControl is disconnected !!!

It only stops if I mute the track.

So it's still a problem and I can't figure it out but it seems to be a GB thing, not the Yamaha or icontrol.

BTW - I realize I DON'T have a MIDI driver because iControl says it's 'pre-configured with a "class-compliant driver"
and the MIDI driver I got from Yamaha only will recognize a MIDI device plugged directly into the computer through a card...and it will not recognize my Yamaha as a MIDI device because it goes through the iControl (I think).

So close, yet so far.
