Recording issue with new Opus engine from EastWest

[Mark Leadbeater]

Hi all,

I've downloaded the new Opus with Composer Cloud subscription but have an issue with recording. Any recording on a track that is playing an Opus instrument is recording double notes - a second identical note immediately after the first - which has the effect of instantly stopping the original note played. It does this if the recording is on the original Opus track or on a MIDI track directed to it.

Any other instrument is working fine and if I record on a MIDI track initially directed to another instrument and then redirect it to Opus, it works. It is purely when recording on an Opus instrument. 

The response from EastWest has basically been 'Cakewalk is not supported so you're on your own!'. Is anyone else having this issue or has ideas how to solve it?

Thanks,

Mark

I have no familiarity with Opus, but it sounds like Opus is echoing MIDI input to a virtual Out, and your track Input is set to All Inputs. Set the Input of the track to the specific port and channel your keyboard is sending on, and disable MIDI Out from Opus if you're not using it.

Cancel the subscription? 😄

Seriously, though, that is a crappy attitude. And good to be aware of.

I love their Symphonic Choir, but I think I won't be getting anything else from them.

Thanks for the replies. David, it appears that you are right. I have no idea how to turn off the MIDI echo within Opus but by setting the MIDI input of the MIDI track to All External Inputs, it successfully records the information from my keyboard and nanoKontrol without the bounce. Thanks a lot for your help.

As far as cancelling the sub - I'm a teacher so get the whole lot for about £10 a month. It's amazing value at that price. And to be fair to their customer service, they did respond very quickly. I was told to beggar off within an hour of my query😂.
