Midi Staff View - Weird Notation

I'm using Sonar 8.5  (Newbie Alert)

I've recorded midi using an M-Audio keyboard.

In the Staff View, almost every note has two heads on the stem.  Each head is for the same pitch - or so it seems.

What is going on?

    What shows in the event list or the piano view?
    There was a thread a while back where someone was getting double notes. They where hiding behind the ones you could see. Can't remember the solution see if you can dig it up, was Dec or Jan. in this forum. it will have a title  double midi notes or ??

    It means you played two notes too close together in time to be accurately represented by the notation at the level of resolution you have selected. Change to a higher resolution, like 16th or 32nd notes.

    If the notes are always the same pitch, another possibility is that you're getting a MIDI echo and Sonar is receiving each note twice, milliseconds apart, and therefore showing two note heads. Sometimes you can get the initial note from the original keypress and then that note is echoed back through Sonar creating the second note. Check your MIDI routing to be sure that there's nothing amiss there.

    Thanks for the great answers.  I know amongst them are all of the problems I'm having - in addition to some bad piano playing.

    Thanks again.
