Thanks everybody for your sound advice. My error was assuming that idle keyboard MIDI controllers were not sending any data. I have a MIDI Solutions Footswitch Controller box that allows me to change the MIDI channel directly from the keyboard. I disconnected the box from the M-AUDIO MIDISPORT and the problem was fixed.

Hi David. I'm using a couple of keyboards as controllers: Roland FP-10 and Edirol PCR-500. The thing is that the MIDI transposition occurs during playback, so the keyboard controllers are idle. I think you are pointing in the right direction with the clocking error. However, shoudn't it always play off pitch? In my case its random. Also, what do you mean by the hardware modules being monitored through Sonar? The communication between Sonar and the sound producing devices (Integra-7 and EMU-Vintage Pro) is handled through an M-Audio MIDISPORT 4x4. Thanks!

Thanks Mark. I have an M-Audio MIDISPORT 4x4 to send the MIDI signals to the external audio devices. I will definitely look for a MIDI monitor to check what is being produced but since it also happens with VST's, I'm afraid that the problem is going to be somewhere else. Thanks anyway!

Sometimes, my MIDI tracks play at the wrong pitch. I have to stop and play several times until the track plays at the correct pitch. This happens both with VST's and external sound modules. I use Roland Integra-7, Roland JP-8080 and E-MU Vintage Pro. Any clues as to what may be the reason? According to Mr. ChatGPT it is not a bug but a configuration issue but its suggestions make little sense: 1. Check Cakewalk Settings Audio Buffer Size: Go to Edit > Preferences > Audio - Sync and Caching and increase the Playback I/O Buffer Size and Record I/O Buffer Size values. MIDI Timing Offset: In the same Preferences window, check the Timing Offset setting in milliseconds and set it to 0. I'm pretty sure there are no strange or hidden MIDI commands because these tracks were not imported. They were created from scratch using a standar Sonar template. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this.
