I have the layout as per your first diagram. Changing to the second one, i.e. connecting the AlphaTrack to a monitor object, did not fix the problem. I was still getting notes ON to the MBCV. When connecting the MBSID to a monitor object I was able to remedy the situation. This means that somehow MBSID sends events that are interpreted in Logic and sent out to the selected track. I guess I will probably have to stay with this current workaround as I am not using MIDI OUT from MBSID. I would also recommend some guards in MBCV against stuck notes as it might happen in other situations as well. Many thanks!

I am not sure changing the midi channel will solve it as it will happen for every highlighted track in Logic. Changing the patch change setting might not do the trick as MBCV is getting notes ON without Off and not patch change.

Well, it is something in the interaction of MBSID and the Alphatrack. Only when clicking the STOP buttn on the AlphaTrack am I able to reproduce it. The STOP event, coupled by a program change to MBSID has MBSID 3 sysex messages that somehow are transformed into Notes ON and OFF that are sent out to the selected track. I am not sure which part of the sequencer chain does this transformation. Perhaps it is the Alpha Track device driver. When removing the MIDI OUT cable from MBSID, the problem does not happen, meaning it is something that MBSID sends. Is there a way to guard against playing a NOTE ON upon NOTE OFF in MBCV?

TK, It is a little complicated to arrange a midi file as it happens when hitting the STOP button. I have now managed to produce the following MIDI stream in the IN of the MBCV. It is evident that there are notes ON in the beginning without the notes off. I had created a new Logic song with two tracks, one is a MBCV and the other is a MIDIBOX SID track. I had added a one measure pattern to the MBSID track with one program change event. WHen the cursor is on the MBCV track, clicking the STOP button transmits the program change to the MBSID and then spits back the following MIDI notes: *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note On 2 C6 96 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note On 2 G#0 64 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 *** ZERO *** To MIDI Port Note Off 2 C-2 0 After that, there is a hanging note in MBCV as per the above two MIDI notes without NOTE OFF events.

Hi, Well, it happens even if I just press the STOP button on my alpha track, which produces: 23:28:20.701 From AlphaTrack Note On 1 A5 127 23:28:20.861 From AlphaTrack Note Off 1 A5 0 23:28:20.900 From Port 1 SysEx Otari 266 bytes 23:28:20.985 From Port 1 SysEx Otari 266 bytes 23:28:21.071 From Port 1 SysEx Otari 266 bytes Note that I have Logic focuses on the track, which sends to the MBCV the above stream. Alpha track created a note on and note off with correct values. the sysex is from the SIDBox. Clicking STOP 3 times in a row creates that stuck note, probably the A5.... [EDIT: no, its note an A5, its more like a note from the Seq3, one that was played)

Hi TK, creating the pattern with the 128 notes, playing it back released the stuck note. Strangely enough, while walking by way up from C-2 and hearing the stuck note each time I entered a new one, when I had hit the problematic note (I think it was C2), the stuck note went the scale to around 7th octave. Finishing the 128 notes and playing the pattern, the stuck note is now released. I am using Seq3 latest firmware to play that sequenced part (1/8th note in 124 BPM). The chase command of Logic is also creating the problem as it chases the 128 notes of the first pattern (placed at the beggining to reset the sound) and creates a stuck note. BTW, is MONO mode appropriate for sequenced parts or should I go to another mode?

Hi, My MIDIBox CV is sometime producing a trigger with CV upon MIDI Note Off. When connected with a software sequencer, something is probably sent to the device (might be some controller, program change or another MIDI event) and after that, some of the channels produce a static tone upon MIDI Note Off. The only remedy is power off. Even program change via the encoder does not work.

As pattern change is optional and off by default, can we also regard bank change the same way? After all, I assume accidental pattern change will have the same effect as accidental bank change, from data loss I mean. If that could be added to the list, be it low priority, I would be grateful. The reason I am seeking this feature is my working method. I am not using the song mode as I keep restructuring my tracks in Logic, which forces me to move the song structure. Since the song is linear, it is a lot of work. I have opted to do pattern changes from Logic and control all pattern change that way. The only issue now is bank changes as those are not supported via MIDI. Thanks for considering this feature request.

Is there a MIDI control event that can switch a bankstick? I can easily change patterns in the four slots via MIDI but I could not find a bankstick bank change method via MIDI.

Hi, I am looking for a way to send variable GATE volume values based on the volume of the depressed key. This will in turn trigger ADSR modules with variable strength, in effect creating variable volume based on the key velocity. Whomper

anything that can be considered for a future software release?

I have a Seq3 that is serving both my normal hardware gear as well as my modular one via a CV converter. As I am now venturing into analog clocked modules (generators and slaved to external clock signal), I am in need to sync them both. is there a way to generate a modular CLOCK signal from a MIDI clock?

It seems like the gate signal level is a constant value and is not related to the incoming MIDI note velocity value. As such, my EG does not change level and change overall VCA volume based on incoming midi note velocity. If I could get the gate level to change based on incoming midi note vel, I could achieve the same dynamic playing as in the midi realm. Is there any way to change this behavior? Whomper

When running my Midibox CV with some sequence, the channel that is playing is stuck on the highest note (127) with the gate in open mode, and as the notes are coming in, it tries to play them in between it defaults to value 127 and an open gate mode. If I stop the sequencer, I hear the constant high note. If I change to a different channel, all is well for a random time until the problem manifests itself there as well. Only remedy is to restart the Midibox CV. Any clues as to how to resolve?

I have a Midibox CV and moving the detended control by a step (up or down) produces double events. Is it doable? Whomper
