How are you inserting the notes? By recording from a keyboard/controller or drum machine or mousing the notes in? If you're recording from a keyboard, ensure that the notes don't overlap.
Are you using a software synthesizer to hear the notes (which one) or a hardware device, such as a MIDI keyboard or sound module? Or are you using the computer's built-in MIDI device, the Microsoft GS Wavetable synth?
Describe how you work so we can get a better idea of what might be happening.
Welcome to the forum.
It's a good idea to put info in your signature at the bottom so we won't have to keep asking each time, info like operating system (32- or 64-bit), and audio interface/sound card, DAW software (I see it's MC 7).
