MIDI punch recording first note missing

[Esteban Villanova]

What says on the title. I have the arpeggiator and input quantize engaged. The previous clip ends exactly at the beginning of the new bar where the punch in is.

If I play the note before the punch in, it doesn't register. If I play it after it will be recorded, although it won't make a sound.

Any setting to fix it?

Over lapped midi notes and clips can have strange behaviors sometimes.   You could try recording it on another track.  Then you could move it or merge it into the other track. Or you could just leave it there.

thanks. The thing is they're not even overlaping. I trimmed the previous clip a bit but it still happens

[Esteban Villanova]

This is still a problem. Any solution?

The purpose of punch recording is to ignore input before and after the punch points, so that's expected. 

Personally, I would just record the MIDI in a new lane in sound-on-sound mode without punch in and edit as necessary at the overlap point.

As for a note played after the punch point not sounding....

- Does it happen with either or both the arp and input quantizing disabled?

- What project tempo, time signature and quantize setting?

- Is the sound source a soft synth, or input-monitored hardware?

- If a soft synth, can you reproduce it with some Cakewalk-bundled synth?

- Does it matter how close the the first note is to the punch-in point?

- How long is the punch range?

- What interface, driver mode, and buffer setting?

I did a quick test, and could not repro  the 'soundless note' problem with either input-monitored hardware or a soft synth with an arp and input quantizing enabled. 

A couple other things I thought of that could have a bearing;

- Are there any MIDI FX plugins in the project?

- Do you have a non-zero 'Timing Offset' entered under  Audio  > Sync and Caching?

I’ll check tonight and report back. Thanks a lot for chiming in.
