MIDI Tracks "Maxxed" Out

All of a sudden, my MIDI tracks lool like audio files set at maximum volume and then clipped. The piano roll reflects the blue track above. They play fine; I just don't like the looks of them. Hard to see what's going on. Any ideas?

Here's a larger screenie. Tried what you suggested. No change. Even rebooted the machine.

Those lines look like velocity peaks. Playing around with the values did not change anything. Oh, yeah... Parts of the same tracks look normal, while other parts are jacked up, as shown above.

Did you look at the event listing for all (or any of the tracks)?  If not, maybe that will show some useful diagnostic info.  I don't think I have any of your VSTs, so what I see might not be accurate, but I see a lot of notes at the same velocity (100) and a lot of CC data (mostly 126/127).

PS: Not sure if this is the case with your gear, but I have had CC data "jitter" from knobs and sliders. To my eye, it looks similar to what you have--CCs bouncing back and forth between 126 and 127.

See edit above. I'm just going to write this off as a glitch. No sense in worrying myself silly. 

True enough!  If it is bogus CC data from hardware or software "jitter," you should be able to just delete all of them using the Event List--just so long as you don't delete intentional CC data.

I used to get random pitch bend data generated from a midi controller, and until I replaced the controller, I turned the pitch bend wheel off on the controller, and my random data issue was instantly resolved.

Maybe you can figure out which knob/button/ghost is causing your errant data and either filter it out or find a way to disable whatever is causing it.

I'm almost too embarrassed to admit this, but I think I found the cause. I left my Jethro Tull songbook on my MIDI controller keyboard while messing around with something else.  Saved the project to answer a call. Came back a few hours later, loaded it up, and started scratching my head. DOH!
