Im starting to think that this is all related to me using midi hardware as it seems to be where Im getting all my issues. Although the issues are the same for both midi synths I am using.
Perhaps specific kit but not in general. I predominantly use hardware synths, drum machines etc. and occasionally soft synths.
Im just using a midi track that goes out to my hardware instrument, it has worked before just fine. Turning the volume down on the midi channel stops the midi from playing back.
I'm a little confused what you mean here. If you mean turning the MIDI track volume down reduces the volume so you can't hear your hardware, that is working how it should. If you mean it stops it playing, as in stops the transport that's not normal.
Your notes pasting but not sounding sounds like you either have them pasted to a track that's sending on a channel to nothing or possibly that track has some sort of automation such as volume on it that is stopping it from sounding.
Having said that I'm currently editing a drum track and I've got some MIDI data that I inserted (not pasted) that I can see, albeit in a different colour that isn't sounding. I can't select it because it disappears as soon as I left click and reappears when I release it. I can't see it in the event list view even with all tracks selected. I'm assuming it's some sort of display bug.
I've even closed and re-opened the project and it's still there. It's only 4 or 5 snare hits but it's very bizarre behaviour. I've never seen nothing like it before except when showing multiple tracks in the PRV at once. Only trouble is I'm at the early stages of the project so there's only one MIDI track in the whole project at the moment. Very strange.
Sorry, I have a problem being clear and concise it seems heh. Anyways yes I mean: " turning the MIDI track volume down reduces the volume so you can't hear your hardware." That's how it usually works, but it is not working like that currently on one of my hardware synths' midi track.
As for the pasting issue, i have automation only to the cutoff knob on my hardware synth and other notes in the same midi track are triggering, just not the three copied notes from another track. Once I redraw those three notes with the draw tool they begin triggering. I could possibly be doing the copy paste incorrectly. All I am doing is cutting on one and pasting on the other using standard ctrl+x, ctrl+v shortcuts.
Your behavior with the snares is pretty wierd too, haven't had that one happen yet.
I also noticed last night that on a drum map I had recorded, that some of the drum hits were showing up, but outside of the area of the clip in the track view....so the clip is like one measure long and then past that one measure where there is nothing but empty grey space in the track view are some drum hits. Really strange behavior we're experiencing.
All of this is with pretty basic stuff going on. As in only one or two tracks. that are only a few measures in length.
