Cubase Elements 8 Track plays back slow and out of tune

Cubase
1

I’ve just upgraded from Cubase Elements 5 to 8. I laid down midi drums, guitar and voice on my first track. It plays back too slow and almost a semitone flat. It also means, of course that when I try to add midi keyboards they are out of tune. Surprisingly all the instruments are in time with each other which doesn’t happen if I slow the track down deliberately.
Help please

Sounds like a sample rate mismatch. Check yoursample rate.

Yes…specifically check the Cubase project and the audio interface are both at the same sample rate.

Thank you both. I reinstalled the Saffire 6 drivers and the problem has been solved apart from 1 remaining problem. I have a Yamaha Clavinola connected to the Midi input if the Saffire 6. When I play the keyboard audio it is in tune. But if I record/play a midi track it is approximately, but not exactly, a semitone sharp. any ideas?

It is still the same Problem; Your audiocard´s samplerate and Cubase´s samplerate don´t match

Are you saying the Clavinola played direct from Keyboard is differentlytuned from the Clavinova played via midi?

Or that the Clavinova is tuned different than Cubase instruments?

That is what I Am saying, yes. The Clavinova plays in a different tuning when played through Midi

Thanks. any clues as to how to access and change the sample rate on the Focusrite interface would be gratefully accepted as I can’t see how to do it at the moment

I don´t own one so unfortunately not. Somewhere on its control panel…

Thank you both. I found out how to alter the sample rate on the focusrite using Cubase. They were different. Once made the same the midi keyboard is now in tune.
