    Hi guys,

    I'm encountering a strange phenomenon.

    When I record a midi track (SX1 with WInXP SP2), the notes are recorded
    twice. Within a distance of 1 tic, so that I hadn't noticed (I only had
    noticed that the notes were louder than what I expected).

    I know that this is a deja vu. I perfectly recall having this problem on
    another PC. At the time, I think I had found that it wasnot a bug but
    rather a manipulation that I had made. I can't remember what it was.

    So I'm asking you. What could be the source of this problem?

    thx .

    Huey

    PS: it happensed in the middle of a making of a song, and now, this is
    unavoidable. If I start a new song, everything is recorde this way (twice).
    If I restart the midi interface and the PC, nothing changes.

    Like a patient heals as soon as he's planned an appointment with his
    doctor, I found my cure 10s seconds after I sent the latter mail.

    Of course, it was the keyboard.
    Must have activated something that would send the played notes
    "through" a loop of some sort.

    Anyway.
    Note to myself and to the NG: it is the keyboard.

    Have a nice evening, whoever read this amaziong thread.

    Sounds like a midi-thru-loop or something like that?! Possible?

    Absolutely :)
    When you have the a bad habit consisting in putting the kb of your pc
    on the top of the control pannel of your midi keayboard, anything is
    possible.
    Moreover, if you don't know the manual of your midi keyboard (and I sure
    don't), then it's a whole world of wonderful suprises that awaits for
    you. :))

    What about a larger table? :) Or are you a fan of "Anything goes"? *grin*

    So you put the fantastic wide world of music into reality by preventing
    yourself from reading manuals :))

    Since yesterday i am very happy having read the manual of my old (but
    still my only sound-module) Yamaha TG100. Now i can use not only the 128
    GM-Sounds but also the remaining 92 "Clavinova" and "c/m"-Sounds.
    Thanks to Midi-Implementation-Charts and a very easy to use
    MIDI-Device-Manager in Cubase LE :)

    I'm quite organized, on the contrary, but my appartment is too small to
    organize my desk another way, for the moment.
    I'm more of the "everything in its place" kind of guy :)

    This is the only excpetion I allow myself. Appart from this instrument,
    I print and read every manual of anything I work with.
    The truth is that I only use my CP33 to play piano (and btw, it's the
    first of my keyboards that let's me forget that I'm not palying a real
    piano [until I touch a real one, that is]) and control CUbase when I
    write music.

    If I ever consider using the sounds of the CP33 in my songs, I'll have
    to read the manual, anyway :)

    Laudably :) So there's at least on person who makes use of my
    profession (i'm technical writer - not for music instruments or
    -software though i would also be able to do this) :)

    So you use it as a Master-Keyboard? Then you should have read the manual
    carefull - or you will encounter the "double-notes-trouble" occasionally.

    I know why i read the manual of my TG100 _before_ i first used it. It's
    a simple to use device and the sounds are not sensational but as i'm
    just playing for myself they are sufficiant.

    Oh yes! You profession is a very useful one. A well writen manual is
    very good sgn to my eyes.

    Once, my mum would ask me to unclench an old kitchen mixer (not a mackie
    at all). When I saw I couldn't do it, I asked about the manual. And she
    still had it. My mum would say "Right, like if there was something I
    did'nt already know in this manual.". Of course, thes was a short
    phrase, very discrete, that would describe how one had to put his hand
    on the mixer in order to unclench the bowl.
    Of course it worked.

    I ended up saying, with a smile, what I had been told many times :
    "Read you manuals".

    Thank you! If all potential employers thought like that, i would't sit
    here and meditate about double notes in cubase and the wonderful world
    of unintended pressed buttons and keys on masterkeyboards :)

    A good proof for the importance of manuals!

    Like i said some posts above...reading manuals, in my case the manual of
    my TG100, allows me since now to make use of several more, very
    interesting, sounds.
