David Pollock Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Using an East West Play instrument, when I play the track, the internal reverb cuts on. I've triple checked the track for envelopes that would be doing this, but I do not see one. In this screenshot, you see that the only envelope is for portamento. There must be something obvious and basic I am missing (I hope). Any ideas? Perhaps this is a Play issue but thought I would start here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutrageProductions Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) As a work-around you could insert a CC to turn off (bypass) the reverb section at the beginning. Also try the VSTi in a new, empty project to confirm EW is the culprit. Edited July 23, 2022 by OutrageProductions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pollock Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Thanks. I inserted another instance of this instrument and flung down a few notes and played it. The reverb did not turn on as it does in the main track. I then copied the clips from the track in question to this new instance of the instrument and once again, the reverb cuts on as soon as the first note plays. I did as you suggested and inserted a reverb CC with the level set to 0, so even though it still cuts on, it has no effect. But this does appear to indicate that there is something on that track (and I am way to far into it to redo the track). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutrageProductions Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Somewhere in the midi track is a CC or NRPN data bit causing that, and it should show itself in the event editor list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pollock Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 You would think, but I see nothing but expression control. Here's the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I see that track is set for input "Omni". Is there a chance another channel is sending MIDI out? Omni will receive MIDI data from any source, even if it's not really intended for that track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pollock Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Good idea, but I don't see that any other channel is sending MIDI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be obvious, as some plugins allow MIDI out to be enabled in their settings. If that was the case, a plugin on another track could be sending MIDI to any other track with "Omni" input selected and input echo enabled. I see that you also have input echo enabled. You could test this by setting the MIDI input for the selected track to something you absolutely know is not sending MIDI, such as "Virtual Controller". Otherwise, you can be fairly certain that it's something stored in the recorded MIDI data for that track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how there can be anything on the track if I don't see it in envelopes or the event list. I know that's the logical conclusion, but I cannot find anything.

Well since the problem moved with the clip, that's pretty convincing evidence that the problem is in there somewhere! Good luck! Maybe take a look at that MIDI clip using another MIDI event list editor.

Thanks for your help. OK, great! And if you do ever decide to take a peek with an alternative MIDI event list editor, the Reaper DAW has a decent one. Reaper is fully functional and free to download and use for 60 days. https://www.reaper.fm/ Reaper is a very small 15MB download, and it has a much more modern UI than that Anvil Studio linked above. Anvil is still currently being developed, but looks like something still lost in the 90's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Curious, If you open that tracks advanced midi settings strip in the track inspector what happens with the reverb control found there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting idea. Would that track reverb knob have any way to enter data into the MIDI clip, such that when that clip was moved to another track the reverb data was moved also?

John Vere Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Not sure My experience is the knob only seems to work with TTS1 But I’ve never tried it with East West. With TTS-1 the control seems to override the control inside of the TTS1 GUI. Just like bank and patch changes do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
