I understand there’s already been a report about stuck notes and the solution is the space bar (work-around, I guess). But since upgrading to 6.1.0.6067, I’ve also encountered strange MIDI through behavior. Different instruments respond when inputting notes, e.g., I’ll input 2 notes in a violin and they’ll sound as a violin, but the 3rd note sounds like a flute. The flute sound will remain until I esc out and reengage note input.
It’s quite strange, and honestly, sometimes quite unnerving (expecting a flute and hearing timpani, e.g.).
This is my own, very large, custom template with many VEP instances and ports, so a cut-down example is a bit tough.
With all that said, I just wanted to write this to see if anyone else has this issue as I think the two issues (stuck notes, wrong instruments) may have something to do with some low-level changes introduced in this version.
Good morning,
I am in contact with Steinberg for the same reason.
Both on my Intel i9 10 Core iMac with 48 GB of RAM and on my Mac Mini M4 Pro with 32 GB of RAM, both updated (unfortunately) to Tahoe, I continue to encounter problems with stuck notes and sound changes while I am writing any part.
I use the updated Noteperformer and I am a composer who writes dense orchestral scores.
I discovered by chance that on the Mac’s extended keyboard, I can mute the stuck note by pressing the 0 key on the keypad, but it does not return to the timbre I was writing with.
The incredible thing is that it’s a random problem and, even though it happens all the time, I haven’t been able to find a way to reproduce it scientifically.
I realised that the timbre always switches to the flute because it’s the first note in the score (MIDI channel 1).
I seem to remember, but I may be wrong, that once, in order to hear the sounds when the piece was loaded, you had to open the caret in a track, whereas now, as soon as Noteperformer loads, you can immediately play, but always with the sound of the first instrument in the score (flute MIDI channel 1).
Another strange thing happens: if I select and open the caret on any track and hear the timbre as I enter the notes, if, with the caret still active, I press the keys at the bottom left to switch from the score to real or transposed sounds, the sound switches to the flute.
I’ve been stuck with this for weeks.
Steinberg has been helping me almost daily with great kindness, but to date, they haven’t been able to resolve the issue.
Best regards,
Stefano
If you’re able to post a diagnostic report in that thread captured immediately after you find the MIDI monitor endpoint changing at random, that might give me a clue as to what is happening.
