Humanizer on Platinum?

Start, that is a dehumanizer.  Or pre-humanizer. 
 
And what we need is more smart-ass replies.  Certainly beats the dumb ones.

Yup, I mentioned in another thread on the same subject that I got the same issue with Cakewalk's included Humanizing effect.



Okay. I'll try to check it out later. I've only ever really used the MIDI Filter FX to filter real-time input which was always a little troublesome - mostly causing randomly delayed notes - but it didn't affect playback. There's also a long-standing issue with MIDI buffering when looping with MFX in a project, but that doesn't manifest as dropped notes.

Spoke to Cakewalk tech support tonight about another issue but brought up the humanizing mfx while I was on the phone with them.
mfxlookahead only has to do with how soon a change that you make in an mfx, while playing back, kicks in.
The humanizing mfx, and the dropped lead note that I was experiencing when freezing has to with the midi buffers settings.
I double checked mine and it is set at 2000ms, not 2500ms as I stated previously.

Are you talking about the Random functions of the Velocity and/or Quantize MFX? I wasn't aware Cakewalk/SONAR ever bundled a "Humanizing" MFX, and I'm not seeing one now.

Yes, that's what I meant by that. It's the Quantize MFX. It's the randomization function.

FWIW, I played around using both MFX together in both X3 and Platinum with my default MIDI Prepare Using buffer of 500ms, and no MFXLookAhead setting added, and could not detect a difference or a problem.

In a very interesting turn of events, I *THINK* I've narrowed my particular problem down to drum maps. I was getting dropped notes when using a humanizer no matter what buffer setting I used.....until I thought about unrouting the midi drum track from the drum map. I've tested this with a library I'm using in Kontakt 5 and so far after several playthroughs, I have not gotten a single dropped note. When I re-enabled the drum map, I started getting dropped notes again.
 
I'm going to test this some more this weekend with Addictive Drums and Superior Drummer, and if I have time Steven Slate Drums 4.
