midi input monitoring...ONE KEY FAILING TO TRIGGER/DROPPING NOTES?

this is a bizarre occurrence that i'm wondering if anyone has experienced. recently my MOTIF7 has been dropping out a single E4 note on my keyboard. to clarify, when i decide to input any keyboard playing and i activate the midi input monitoring in SONAR 7 PRODUCER in anticipation of recording, AND the local control on the M7 is set to off, all the notes play fine EXCEPT E4! (this is a 76 note keyboard) what's interesting is that i can DRAW in the note (in the piano roll view) and it will play back, it just WILL NOT trigger while playing. neither will it trigger if i just hit the dead key and not hear it, expecting to hear it upon playback. once i turn the local control on (for example, to use the M7 sequencer) all the keys play perfectly. i'm bugged by this since the key is in the middle of the keyboard; what's worse is that if i change the octave on the keyboard to avoid using that key, the dropout changes (still E-whatever octave) as well. i'm thinking it's a latency issue, but it's happening whether or not i have any tracks previously recorded or not. has anyone experienced this, and if so what is the deal?

thanks in advance

MIDI key bindings? If you use a MIDI key as the key binding shift key, then you lose the ability to play that note by itself. Bill B

Good call. That was my first guess.

Hmmm, yeah. Hadn't thought of that. But E4 (in SONAR-speak) is pretty far up, even on a 76-key board, no? You wouldn't intentionally choose that for MIDI shift. Unless maybe he had even a smaller keyboard at some point in the past...
