Is it a bug or am i missing something

[user6998183183211456]

I use korg triton plugin with my CB. If  i record and play midi then it records everything perfectly, BUT IF I PASTE MIDI IT DOES NOT PLAY.

I tried everything possible but no luck. Of course many will say that its a midi issue but to prove its not a midi issue i've changed to different synth and all the midi plays perfectly. I'd totally appreciate if someone could help me resolve this issue as i love the triton and plan to use it in lots of projects.

Just for your info, i've been using logic pro x before and never had any issues with the triton, but now i shifted to windows and now this.

A quick look at the video will explain what i'm talking about.

Pretty sure you need to select a MIDI channel for the Triton vst... The midi clips that you are "pasting" have midi channel information in them and most likely you do not have an instrument on that channel in the Triton vst and that channel is different than the channel info of the note events you inserted with the tool... The Roland JV 1080 vst will respond to any midi channel info so it will play the notes you inserted and the notes that you pasted even though they are on different midi channels...

Open up the "Inspector" on the left hand side of the screen... Select MIDI in the track strip at the bottom of the screen, Audio is selected by default... Go up to the MIDI section just below the FX rack, the channel will be assigned to None by default (top button)... Set it to MIDI channel one as this is the channel that you put the instrument on in the Triton vst... All of your notes should play now as the MIDI track for your instrument track is now transmitting on MIDI channel 1 and the Titon vst has an instrument on channel 1...

With None selected in the MIDI section of the track Cakewalk will respond to what ever midi channel info is embedded in the midi events, which could be multiple different midi channels...

It's not really clear what the MIDI you're pasting is. It's definitely not the existing content that you made in the project. Sometimes certain synths will behave differently depending on what other extraneous data could be contained in the MIDI. Without being able to see the exact data in the clip that's not playing, it's hard to say, but you could look at what the details are in the Event List for what's in the pasted clip.

I can assure you that ANY  midi clip i paste does not sound. I would have done video recording of that but there are restrictions here regarding file size so i had to keep the video short.

In any case, you can see in the video that all the midi plays fine when i change the synth to Roland JV-1080. It plays fine on other synths too. Its just the triton thats not playing and i'm fairly certain that its midi parameters and specs will be same as jv-1080 and other synths.

Unfortunately for me, the mystery goes on !

Regarding the MIDI track that is routed to the Korg Triton plugin, what MIDI channel is that MIDI track set to?

@ SirWillyDS12

You were absolutely right and your clear guidance was a big help.

You are the maan and i hope we meet someday so that i can treat you to a drink/s.

You're very welcome and glad that worked out for you...

On a side note... There are a couple of ways to check the channel info of the MIDI note events in your MIDI tracks... Can be very helpful if you are pasting MIDI note events from another MIDI file...

One, double left click on the note event in PRV... This will bring up the "Note Property" box where it will show you the MIDI channel of the note...

Two, open up the "Event List" for the track... This will show you the MIDI channel for all events in the track including CC events...

If your MIDI track is set to "None" Cakewalk will use the channel info in the events which was your problem with the Triton VSTi... With a track set to None you can control more than one MIDI channel of a multi channel VSTi or hardware synth from the same MIDI track... If you select a MIDI channel for the MIDI track Cakewalk will over ride the channel info in the MIDI events and use the channel you select...

My favorite way is to look in the Event Inspector, in the Control Bar.
