MIDI data suddenly won't play
Okay here's a weird one I'm using EZ player pro + NI modern drums. My drumbeat is playing fine, I grab a drum fill from my fills folder, drag to time line and it won't play. I go to piano roll view, the clip is there, not muted, plenty of velocity, right notes, but no sound. I can start a new project, same conditions, same fills, and they play fine. What the heck is going on?

Is input echo enabled? All you need to do is go through the chain to see if everythnig is ok Cj

That's the weird thing. In PRV the 2 clips are side by side, drumbeat plays, fill doesn't. In a new project this doesn't occur. I've already got so many tracks laid down, I don't want to start all over and have never had this happen before. Why would 2 clips side by side, have one play and the other not? I've never seen anything like this.

Echo is on on on....Not the problem though. I really think it must be something weird going on with EZ player pro. I tried bouncing to clips the working clip and the non working clip and they stayed the same although bounced. I tried pulling midi clips from the X1 browser and they work, so something must've got corrupted with the EZ plugin. I'm afraid I'll have to file this one under the Bermuda Triangle/Twilight Zone/ Unexplained Mysteries files...

Jonesy and Pwal have asked if you have checked if the mute MIDI clip is on the same channel as the audible ones, that's what Jonesy meant with the echo...echoing Pwals question. Right click on one of the notes and check its properties. I don't know how one clip could be on a different channel, but it definately needs to be checked, because the problem is a bit strange.

I'm willing to be a reasonable sum of money that this is indeed the problem.

Good suggestion! That's why I ask questions from people that are smarter than me. I'll try that when I get back to my workstation tonight, and hopefully we'll have a happy ending to this mystery. Thanks everyone.

Save the project with an added something. Open the event list for the problem midi. Delete the RPNs and NRPNs. It's easier to restart the project afterward. The reason for an added something to the project name so you have the original in tact if need be. Maybe your synth won't accept RPNs and NRPNs? I know Dimension Pro does the same thing and other synths. HTH

Thanks everyone. Turns out it was a MIDI channel problem. The working clips notes were on channel 1 and the non-working were on channel 10. I thought that If I had the track set for MIDI OMNI they all would play, that's usually the case, but not this time. EZ is still being buggy though, because it's never done this before and it's suddenly playing or not playing MIDI data in my libraries at its own whim. I'm basically just a guitar player who's eyes glaze over when the discussion turns to MIDI channels, RPN's and NRPN's etc. I guess I'm going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming to learn more about the, pardon the pun, in's and out's of MIDI. Can someone recommend a good source for getting a better understanding on MIDI? Thanks to everyone again!

A very quick Google search for "Midi explained" will yield a host of resources. Try the SOS/Paul White link
