Since upgrading to v.2.2.10.300 of VST Live 2, I am experiencing random stuck MIDI notes. Using “MIDI monitor” to see what is going on, I see that VST Live is randomly not receiving MIDI off events. I did not have this issue on my previous version of VST Live which was v.2.1.21.236.
The issue occurs in multiple performances/songs, but seems to be related to the Korg Keystage controller I am using. When I used a different controller (by Studiologic), the issue does not occur. However, I do not have an issue when using the Keystage controller with Cubase 14, so I don’t think there is an issue with the controller. The issue seems to be specific to a combination of the latest version of VST Live when used with the Keystage controller.
BTW - deleted v. 2.2.21.334 and reinstalled v.2.1.21.236 - and no more stuck MIDI notes when using the Korg Keystage as the controller. Thus there appears to be an issue with both v.2.2.10.300 and 2.2.21.334
Unfortunately, I get the same results with v. 2.2.21.334. Uninstalling v2.2.21.334 and reinstalling an older version of VST Live (v.2.1.21.236) did resolve the stuck MIDI notes issue (though I am on an older version of VST Live again). For what it is worth, the Korg Keystage is one of the new MIDI 2.0 devices, so I wonder if there is something going on with MIDI 2.0 and the newer MIDI stack in v 2.2 of VST Live.
“Sometimes, the MIDI Note Off message isn’t sent properly, causing the note to remain stuck. This can happen if playing too fast or if there’s a problem with the MIDI connection”
and
" If a note on your Korg Keystage becomes stuck (continues sounding after the key is released), try pressing the Stop button three times quickly."
We do understand that it does not happen with Cubase or older versions of VST Live, but that doesn’t help much. Not your fault, but what can we do?
What exactly happens: the note off is not beeing received by VST Live, or it is not beein sent by VST Live?
But if the MIDI Monitor doesn’t show that MIDI is not beeing received, it is simply not beeing received. And are you sure that it sends Note Off messages, or Note On messages with velocity 0 (which is treated as note off)?
Whatever helps to identify or narrow the probelm, thanks.
