Hello All,
 
When I stop playback in my sequences, I'm getting lingering notes on my piano track if I stop playback while the damper pedal is on. It's a little bit of a pain to have to hit the Panic button every time I hit Stop.
 
First question: Is this supposed to happen? When I hit Stop, should a value of 0 be sent to CC 64? I know when I hit Stop, it's supposed to send Note Off messages, but is it also supposed to send CC Off messages?
 
If the answer to this is yes, the my second question is: Is there a setting somewhere where I can make this happen?
 
It seems to have started this behavior yesterday after I got a BSOD from an audio driver error. I have rebooted (several times) since then. I wasn't getting any lingering notes before the BSOD.
 
Thanks in advance.

If you go to Preferences | Project | MIDI and select "Zero Controllers When Play Stops", I believe that will do what you require.  Note: this is a per project setting

Thank you, promidi. This is what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it's not making a difference in my current sequence. However, I have experimented with a new sequence to see that it in fact does this correctly. I guess my system crash just messed something up in my current sequence and I will have to live with it for now.

When you press the pedal while recording it will produce a cc trigger ON (127). When you release the pedal it will produce a cc trigger OFF (0). If you stop recording while holding the pedal, no OFF cc will result. You can also add these cc data manually in PRV controller pane.

Additional info
Cakewalk.ini > PanicStrength=1 ,  The Panic/Reset button stops playback and turns off any stuck notes. There are two ways a MIDI note can be turned off: By a note-off message (n=1) or by MIDI controller number 123 (all notes off). By default, Panic uses controller 123 only (n=0).
 
Just be aware though if you have Reveal Sound Spire in your project +  PanicStrength=1 then when you hit the "Reset Midi and Audio" Button you will crash platinum.
 
If you set PanicStrength=1:
A) Disconnect Spire via synth rack before pressing the Reset Midi and Audio Button.
or
B) Don't use Spire until bug is fixed ! bug is reported !

Thanks soens and taccess, but these things aren't the problem. All cc 64 on and off events are present in the track, and the panic button works fine. The problem is that when I'm playing the sequence back, and I hit Stop, no Off message is received by cc 64. I have to hit Stop *and* the Panic button. I have verified that this works correctly in other sequences; hitting Stop turns off cc 64. So it is either some project specific setting that is wrong, or something got messed up during a crash.

Troubleshooting what you have is the fastest way to solve this!
What you have is sustain on a track that continues after you press stop ! Use this to eliminate the instrument as a possible cause first !

How have you verified this because this sounds like a way to narrow the problem down !
 
When you say you have verified that the sustain stops when you press stop "ONLY" How exactly did you verify it ?
1)Did you open a Different project and test it that way ?
If So :
2)Did that project have the same instrument causing the sustain in the BSOD Project ?
This is important and tells us a lot
 
Is this happening to only one instrument or all with sustain in the BSOD project ? <  sorry to call it that !
When you press stop and the sustain continues is it only on one instrument ? check your primary's Peak meters to locate the instrument holding the sustain.
Then once you have the instrument disconnect it via the synth rack .
You could then try and re insert the same instrument again and see if it fixes or proves it was a instrument setting.
You could then try and insert the same instrument into the project you used to verify it working and see if the instrument then causes the same issue !
 
It sounds to me that if you have verified it working " Sustain stops immediately when you press stop" in another project then its not platinum setting related because it would also hold sustain where you verified it !
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Not sure what instrument your using but here is another current thread with sustain issues that may or may not help:
 
http://forum.cakewalk.com...-Rapture-m3183245.aspx

The instrument is Pianoteq 4 Stage. Great troubleshooting tips, thanks taccess. I will keep investigating.

Also, .... D'oh! I corrected my spelling error, but not fast enough. Now you've quoted it for all the world to see!
