I have a midi keys clip that I am trying to figure out where the phantom midi event is that I hear. It is a ghost note that persists somewhere. I call it a ghost note because it is nowhere in the event list or the PRV but I hear it.

If I hear it and can't find it in the PRV or EL, how can I get it removed?? I have the transpose fx in the midi track to kick it up an octave.
 
There is only one lane in the track and it is solo'd.
 
Thoughts?
SOLVED
The synth had a midi track that played at the same time and was not in the X3 host. :-D

Start by selecting the entire track & do a bounce to clip.
 
This will put everything into one long, contiguous clip which makes troubleshooting a bit easier.
 
Next, select all the notes by clicking & dragging down the notes pane on the left. Make sure all notes are on the same Midi channel, unless you're doing something a bit more elaborate with Midi assignments
 
How are your velocities? Sometimes, quiet notes can almost disappear visibly in the prv as their shade fades downwards with velocity.
 
None of this explains why you can't see it in the Event List though.

I am using EZkeys and it has a playback sync option with patterns in it's pattern browser. I create a playback pattern in there and drag it to SONAR. The pattern in EZkeys just so happened to be in the same alignment as the patterns in the PRV that I was editing.  :)
 
Thanks for the reply though!
 
btw - for guys who don't play keys on a regular basis, EZkeys is an awesome pattern tool for keyboards. check them out!

Thanks for that reference.  That looks like a really great tool for the purpose it is designed for -- i.e. for the not-very-accomplished pianist who wants to compose piano-based pop tunes.  The work flow seems to be perfectly honed for that task.
 
If I didn't already have Band-in-a-box, I would be very tempted to buy EZKeys.  But I can do most of what EXKeys does in BIAB, although the workflow is much more indirect.  This one goes on the list of stuff I buy when I win the lottery.
