Unwanted Sustain

Jan 14th, 2008, 12:26

Hi again I've been running into a problem when I program using my Fantom or my Motif. I'll record and the notes will sustain . Then when I play a note after I've recorded into a track that note will sustain also . Its intermittent . Also , in the piano roll , when I hi light the midi drum tracks not al the note show up Especially with BFD 2

Hi economou54 I'm not sure if I completely understand. When you play/record do the notes played sustain much longer than the key is pressed? Does that show up in the Piano-roll as long sustained notes? Or is this an issue with a 'stuck key' type scenario where the note sustains because the MIDI note sticks during playback. If it's the later, there's a useful key command, 'Send discrete note offs (Panic)'. That will stop all MIDI data being sent and so stop the sustained note during playback.

Hi When I record a midi track with my Fantom or My motif rack all the notes will sustain . And they'll play back sustained . I don't know if its a setting in Logic or not. The notes in the piano roll look right. Its more like the stuck key' type scenario where the note sustains because the MIDI note sticks during playback. But sometime I get sutsain when I'm recording also

Hi Are you in Loop mode or using the sustain pedal at all? Also, how have you got your Motif/Fantom connected to Logic? Rounik

Hi No I'm not in loop mode , I didn't use a sustain pedal . The part in question is a very staccato alto sax part . The fantom is hook up in & out USB with Motu's Micro Lite. I just tried resetting the midi drivers and that seems to have solved the Problem . Under Pref>midi > general> I have both items checked . Does this make sense to you ?

Hi Seems to make sense - glad it's behaving better! I'm not at my Logic station - but will have a check tomorrow when I get a chance. Cheers Rounik

Hey Economous54 Having the two boxes checked in Preferences > MIDI > General seems fine. Have you had any more success or any other issues? Cheeers :-) Rounik
