    I hope I’m not repeating a common bug report..

    every time I record MIDI the first note isn’t recorded

    I’m using a 1212M (with 1820M) and an Evolution MK-249C going in the EMU’s midi

    Win XP home

    I don’t have any virtual midi cables installed (although I do use midi-ox)

    Hi Spaceman,

    To start with, make sure the ‘use time stamps from driver’ option in the interfaces setup dialog is disabled for the MIDI input.

    If you are using the MIDI to play on softsynths, does the synth actually play the first note when you record?

    And are the notes you play after the first, recorded properly?

    sorry for being daft but I’m rather new to all this..

    how do I get to the interfaces setup dialog?

    I’m using the Demo btw..

    and it does play the first note when recording, it just doesn’t record it

    how do I get to the interfaces setup dialog?

    Described here

    oh and.. can you process my license purchase?

    Have you ordered at share-it by credit card? I just checked my account, and I don’t see any pending orders. How long ago did you order?

    I’ll check out that link..

    oh and I payed through share-it by credit card
    share-it! Order number: 9809754
    (it was only 2 hours ago or something)

    Maybe they haven’t processed the order yet

    I’ll have to be patient 😀

    I unchecked the time stamp thingy but it’s still not recording the first note..

    there is a change though.. before this, the track didn’t get “painted” on screen until the second note, now it does “paint” the track as soon as I hit a note but it’s still not recording the first note

    If you record e.g. pitch bend before playing the first note, does the first note get recorded then?

    Try recording e.g. 2 notes (one missing and one recorded ok). Enter the editor for the note sequence, and switch to the event list profile in the view menu. Can you see the missing note here?

    If all fails, you could email me your project file, and I’ll see if it is something in the setup that causes this behaviour.

    it’s the same with pitch bend
    I checked the event list but there’s only one note

    I’ll send you the project file.. what email address can I send it too?

    While messing around with your project, I found a silly little bug in the device mapping properties dialog, that prevented the activatition of channel filters for MIDI inputs. That means your 16 MIDI input channel mappings actually does not filter the messages based on MIDI channel. Fix will be available in 1.28.

    However, I’m not sure that is the cause for your problem. I tried your project file and just assigned my MIDI interface to the MIDI mappings. I found no problem in recording notes.

    Your share-it order came through btw., so could you try with the latest 1.27 release and see if the problem occurs there too?

    Did two things here..

    Installed 1.27 .. and got an voltage adapter for my midi controller so that I didn’t have to connect it using the usb cable

    one of the two or both seemed to have done the trick, recording is working like a charm now.. WOOHOOOO!!!!!

    I’m very excited about this sequencer. I got really frustrated with Sonar lately and I’ve got a feeling Podium will become my main sequencer really soon 😉

    you’ve got the workflow and gui spot on in my opinion and I’m looking forward to future developements

    actually.. I cried victory too early

    the damn recording problem came back 🙁
    the first note goed missing again ?!??!?

    but I have just noticed it only does it if there’s less that 3 bars leading up to the recording, so when I start recording at bar 3 it records the first note fine.. when I start recording at bar 2 it doesn’t record the first note

    It would be helpful to determine if it is the automatic creation of the track and note sequence that causes the misbehaviour.

    If you create the note sequence on the track manually with the pencil tool before recording, does the first note go missing then?

    Thanks, I appreciate your support 🙂

    I believe I tried both yesterday and it did the same in both cases.. but I’ll try again when I get home

    I’ll keep you posted
