MIDI Artifacts

[Dan Cross]

I’m having this problem when using soft synths in Cakewalk (by Bandlab). If I use the same synth twice (mostly Spire) in the same project, the first track records and plays back the midi just fine. But when I insert another instance of Spire (by Reveal, btw), it plays fine (during monitoring) only when recording. When I go to playback, it has entered a ton of little random midi notes all over the place. And obviously, that is crazy to fix on the piano roll. I don’t understand why that is happening. Help?

I sounds like Spire is generating MIDI events which are being picked up by the subsequent recording.

You've two options:

1. Disable MIDI output on Spire by going to the drop down menu at the top of the synth's dialog; or
2. On the track you're recording on, make sure your MIDI input is only set to your controller keyboard instead of "All Inputs".

I think I do have midi output on Spire. Simple but very good thought...I'll let you know how it goes 

[edit, well  crap, midi out wasn't even selected. I'll try option #2}

Option number 2 did the trick. Wow, that was simple. Thank you so much!
