This is very strange.  On my softsynths at measure 17, there is a crackle around the third beat on my soft synths.  It goes away if I remove the note at that point.  I cannot figure out any controller or other matters going on at that point.  If I start the curser on track 17, the crackle does not occurer.  If I start the "playing" at the beginning of measure 16 or earlier, that crackle will always show up on the third beat of measure 17.

What can this be?  Is there a hidden object there?  When I go to "cut" it only allows me to cut the midi note and nothing else.
 
Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Is there a tempo change there? It can interact with time-based effects on a track or bus or inside a softsynth and can cause a glitch.

I will check. There should not be a change in tempo - but even if it is the same tempo implanted there, that could cause it.  I suspect it is something like that.  What is weird is that if I start it in the measure with the problem, there is no crackle.  But I start it at least one measure before, the crackle appears at the same spot!
 
Best,

What happens if you freeze the track?

You've checked the Event List to see all events?

Clipping?

Duplicate note, causing clipping?

Not duplicate note.  Checking the event window is a great idea.
