Okay Bob.

I must admit, having read through the previous posts, that I thought you had already tried bouncing the SS clip. If that fixes it then great, we'll look forward to the finished product. If not, then as soon as you're able, get the file FTP'd :-)

BTW, I thought my knee problems were bad, having been told that I'm a fifty year old with eighty year old knees, all on account of being knocked of my motorcycle three and a bit years ago. Doc says I've got to keep on taking the pain killers for now, but, as you well know, the pain killers can only do so much...

Bob,

I have seen this issue before too, select your clip and try bouncing to track..

Yeah - too much pain last night - will do after some pain meds and coffee.

Thanks ALL you folk, I will post back in an hour or so with the results.  I would imagine this would fix it, as I truly believe something in either how I am recording or something with the odd meters, or the drum map, or something in the SS, or some combination is jazzing this up.  In this project it only happens on this one track.

Sooo, meds, coffee, bounce, post, avoid the ex (She knows I got paid today - yikes).

Any luck yet, Bob?

Hi - just got back home from watching my son's basketball game.

I will bounce after finishing some tasty BBQ ribs - whole slab.

Update - sorry it took so long.

I backup up the original project folder, then opened up the project and did a bounce to clip, and that resolved the issue with editing events, as well as seeing data in the PRV.

I will upload a stripped down version of the project to my web site later this morning, for anyone to look at, as the SS-created midi track is somehow jazzed up.  I have to contact the hosting service and either get them to change the hosting plan back to what it was when I signed up for it (they dropped SQL Server with no warning), or I have to switch hosting sites prior to uploading the project.

Anyways, at least I have a work around with the bounce to clip approach, THANKS to all you have helped here,

OK - I got an email back from tech support on this issue.

1.  It is intended behavior not to be able to edit midi clips in Event List for clips that were created with Step Sequencer.  (This should be noted somewhere in the documentation, but to the best of my knowledge is not.  I will submit a feature request or whatever they call it).

2.  There IS already a bug logged where if a midi clip is created using a drum map, it messes up opening up the clip again in Step Sequencer.  If I had been able to edit in SS, I never would have tried using Event List - but at least they are aware of this issue - and knowing it is caused by using the drum map within Step Sequencer, I now know how to continue without having this issue - just don't use a drum map with SS.  The email indicated but did not commit to - a potential for a fix in the next round of maintenance.  Hope it is there, but knowing how to avoid the issue in the meantime is fine - THANKS Cakewalk folks :)

And I did indeed bounce to a clip and it disconnected the events in the track from Step Sequencer, and I can now edit to my hearts content using Event List or PRV.

Sooooooooooo, I am back on track, and that's cool.  I already fixed the errant events in my drum track - so onward and sideways :)

Bob, if it's the bug I'm thinking of then opening the clip a second time will open it in the SS, it only fails on first attempt. That's the one I've seen anyway although in fairness I haven't tried that in X2a yet.

Another thing to check.......

Just checked and it isn't fixed. Open it a second time and it should open okay.

Nice one Bob :-)
