Best see my screen recording with audio:
I’ve recorded audio through a Scarlett audio interface and midi from a Yamaha keyboard via USB. The recorded notes all look correct, live monitoring was all good and the first playback also sounded fine.
But suddenly, in the middle of playback my midi instrument (Mini Grand Piano) plugin was going crazy and the pitch started wobbling and random settings like sustain or ambience reverb were being toggled on and off. I restarted my mac, reopened Cubase and used the Midi > Reset option and opened the midi monitor insert. But the problem now remains.
Cubase 14.0.32
Any ideas what I can do to fix my project? The recorded data doesn’t seem corrupted, it all displays the correct notes, but I can’t seem to stop the midi instrument from eating itself.
Hi,
I can see that there is an automation on the Audio track. What kind of parameter do you automate?
Do you use any (MIDI) Remote Device? How are they set up (MIDI Input and MIDI Output Ports)?
I don’t think I have any automation anywhere:
I also have the global “R/W” toggles for automation unchecked.
I don’t have any midi remotes and during playback I have my midi keyboard disconnected, so I don’t think anything is interfering.
I noticed, that when I use a different midi instrument the problem disappears, but I really like the sound of the Mini Grand plugin. Maybe it’s an issue with the plugin, but I’m confused because I’ve been recording with that plugin for months and didn’t have a single issue until today, when I used my new Yamaha keyboard for the first time.
And even stranger, it really switches between everything fine and chaos seemingly randomly during playback. Just now I jumped because whatever decided to slam seemingly all midi piano notes at the same time. oO
I noticed that my Yamaha seems to send more inputs, I don’t know what each one does, but is there a way to selectively toggle these things like “Gen Purp 4” or “Control 88” so I can see if that fixes the interaction with the Mini Grand? Since it works fine with other synthesizers, I assume maybe my Yamaha sends data that the Mini Grand doesn’t support. I don’t want to blindly delete the data, since I guess it does have some reason, e.g. aftertouch or expression that might be used, but if I could test which controller is misbehaving, I can figure it out.
Hi,
- MIDI CC19 is the General Purpose MSB pair dor MIDI CC50 (which is LSB).
- MIDI CC88 is the High Resolution Velocity Prefix.
You can delete them or just mute them.
