the midi fx in x2 pretty clearly weren't thoroughly tested.  chord analyzer doesn't work at all. :/

Thanks for pointing that out, I confirmed that the chord analyzer doesn't work.  I'll file a bug report.

Same problem. Only EZ Drummer and one instance of Dimension as far as MIDI goes, but random midi notes drop out. I've tried all the suggestions above, to no avail. Also, I don't have any MIDI transpose effects going on, so if that fixed yours, mine is something different. Kind of a highjack, but not since it's the same problem. Any other ideas for a fix?

Seems to be the same problem.  Getting rid of the MIDI transpose greatly reduced the number of dropouts, but I am still getting some.  I'm going to try opening the project in X1 to see if I still get dropouts there.

if you're using a monophonic bass patch in dimension change the polyphony setting to 4 or so instead of 0. this will allow overlapping notes to be picked up.

Thanks, Swamptooth-

I thought of that and carefully edited the MIDI so there were no overlapping notes-  Also, the notes that don't play are random:  Sometimes they play, sometimes they don't.  And the worst offender is True Pianos, which sometimes has dropouts while only playing a 3 note chord.  So I don't think the polyphony setting is the culprit, but I'll experiment with it anyway.

Please list for me your interface settings - sample rate and buffer size, as well as how it is set in Sonar, thanks.

did those dropouts still happen in x1??

if you want to post the project file id be happy to take a look. maybe insert some markers where the dropouts happen.

Haven't tried yet.  Was without power for quite a while due to storms here in N. CA.  I will give it a try later today and post back.


Thanks!

Hi Bob,


  Thanks for the help!  Sample rate is 44.1kHz, ASIO, buffer size set for 512 or 1024 when working with Melodyne.  The recorded audio tracks never drop out, they continue to play fine, only the MIDI driven softsynths drop out.


@swamptooth:  I'm going to try to distill the problem down into a simple project, will post that if I can reproduce the problem.  There's no way to put markers at the dropouts, because they don't happen on the same notes all the time.  They happen intermittently and in different places.  However, during a mixdown obviously the dropout gets printed to the final .WAV file.
