Strange midi note behaviour

This is what's happening: I just recorded an instrument track (superior drummer) but, listening to it, many notes are missing. If I freeze,the missed notes reappear in the audio rendering. Any Idea or experience?

    What I mean: The recorded events are there, if you open the piano roll. The only problem is that some notes don't play!!!
    This happens non for the same notes. It's random

    Hey piangio, I am experiencing the same issue with the cakewalk soft synth insert. I have been using Sonar 8 up till now and just downloaded all the X1 files to do a fresh install on a new machine. Don't know if anyone else has experienced this but will continue my search. Added Comment: I do get a meter reading when the midi note triggers.

    Increase your midi buffer size. Press the "p" and it's in the midi section. Just double it till it works.

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    Thank you. I had already tried to increase the midi buffer but with no result. Sonar was almost perfect 3 days ago. I think there would be a sort of SW conflict but I really don't have any idea of wich one.

    When this sort of thing happens to me, and it happens a lot, it seems to be the SW synth acting buggy.
     
    SI Bass, in particular, does wierd things like when I PAUSE a song and start playing again it will blend the notes into one long continuous flowing muffled sound forcing me to STOP the song and start again.
     
    Try creating a new song and copy the midi track into it, then use a different SW synth.

    So I tried to increase the midi buffer size to its maximum which is 128 but that still didn't work. What did work was to go into Audio>>Synch and Cache and enable read caching and enable write caching. After that I set the Playback I/O buffer size to 512kb. All is well now. I knew there was something that I still had to setup in audio settings but didn't know exactly where the bakers put it since 8.0. Thanks for the hint Guitarpima, really appreciate it.

    Steve- did you record that part on keyboard and use a sustain pedal?
    If so, it might be held down from the point you start playback...which can give some funky results...when it happens to me I go in and delete the pedal in the controller pane and lengthen the duration of the notes as needed in PRV.

    That's it! The playback buffer was too low (50msec). The default value is 250 and I don't know when I made this change in my setup.
    Thank you everybody!
