Hiyas,
 
Midi FX rack bug, click on 'bypass rack' with nothing in the rack has no effect, all notes get through as expected.
 
I place a midi event filter in the FX rack to cut out the upper notes, works fine.
 
If I click on the midi event filter bypass this also works, turning the filtering on and off.
 
But if I click the 'bypass rack' button on, no notes get through at all until I either delete the midi event filter or turn off the 'bypass rack'.
 

I can't reproduce this using Event Filter to cut out some higher pitch and/or higher velocity notes. I tried it with both hardware and software synths (TruePianos).
 
What synth are you experiencing this with? Is it inserted in the synth rack as opposed to the FX bin? You might try raising your MIDI Prepare Using buffer if it's less than 500ms.

Hi Brundle, it's inserted into the midi track itself in the FX 'rack' I assume it is called.
 
It is a midi track fed from an external synth and routed back out to that synth.

That's fine if you're talking about the MIDI FX. I just wanted to make sure you weren't using a soft synth with its output routed into the audio track via the FX bin. If it's a keyboard synth, it should be working, and Prepare using buffer wouldn't be relevant. That's the the configuration I initially tested.
 
Is it happening with existing/recorded MIDI as well? If it's only with live input, I would suspect that maybe you're losing Input Echo of the live MIDI rather than having a problem with the MFX. Do you have Input Echo forced On, or are you relying on Always Echo Current MIDI track in the preferences to auto-echo the MIDI? If the latter, make sure you're keeping the MIDI track in focus or try forcing it On.

Will check it out tomorrow as I'm away from the synth now.

The track was in focus all the time and midi echo on ( I have it set so midi echo comes on if the track is selected) notes were playing live with the fx rack enabled but stopped as soon as the fx rack was disabled.

At the same time with the fx rack enabled, enabling and disabling the midi event filter had the expected effect of filtering the notes then allowing all notes to sound.

I'll have to double check that clicking on bypass fx rack does not alternately focus and unfocus the track...it shouldn't afaik.

No, it shouldn't. I was just trying to think of something else that might stop MIDI flowing, assuming the rack bypass is working as it is here.

I can confirm that it works fine for soft synths but not for an external synth and only with notes being played, not with recorded notes.
 
On the midi track in question if I change the 'out' to a soft synth then bypassing the fx rack allows all notes to play, if I change the 'out' back to the external synth (Kronos 2 USB) then bypassing the fx rack stops all notes from playing and you don't even see the activity meters moving any more.
 
I've raised a ticket...maybe its a Kronos midi driver issue?

That'd be my next guess as I can't reproduce a problem with hardware synths using a MOTU MIDI interface.
