BassMasterGeneral Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Hi there, I've got a bit of a dodgy MIDI interface that keeps sending random velocity CCs, the note info is fine (aside from a few keys that need cleaning and aren't working) so is there any way of getting cakewalk to not record/ignore stuff like this? Ta!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Velocity is a property of the note on message, not a CC. You can't get Cakewalk to alter what is actually recorded, but you can affect playback / echo while recording by adjusting the velocity trim (Gain knob on MIDI tracks, or on the MIDI tab of a soft synth) - turn it up to 127, and everything will come out at velocity 127. It'll even sound at velocity 127 while you're recording. To change what velocity was actually recorded after the fact, select the clip and using Scale Velocity from the Process menu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassMasterGeneral Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 (edited) That doesn't seem to be what's happening for me, sorry I should have been clearer before - it doesn't seem to be affecting the note VELOCITY, but CC 7 keeps triggering some sort of VOLUME parameter which makes the track quieter. It seems to be the output value of the soft synth I'm using? Either way I've disconnected the volume control on my MIDI keyboard but that's not changed anything, it seems to kick in just by playing notes?! Very irritating when trying to track stuff as you can imagine! Edited February 23 by BassMasterGeneral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Time for a new controller. All the midi input filters are on the midi inspector strip shown by Mark. There’s not much any software can do about defective hardware. You repair or replace it. Edited February 23 by John Vere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 install MIDIOX and see what is coming across from the controller or MIDI interface. if it is sketchy - as John noted - time to replace it if there is no option to update or reset it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassMasterGeneral Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 I'm really not bothered about my keyboard doing anything other than note, duration and velocity. But I presume there's no way of making it ignore this info when record then? That's a bit rubbish but at least I only paid 20 quid for it! I'll find a way of living with it as I'm well skint atm. Thanks for the info though good to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 MIDIOX can help as well as any number of other filtering products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check out some filtering stuff in future as the only other thing I can imagine needing in the near future is a sustain pedal which won't work with this going on I imagine, thanks as usual guys!
