Problems with the OPT midi editor -ACID Product Family

Subject:Problems with the OPT midi editor Posted by: dlcham Date:8/20/2002 8:40:23 PM I'm using the Sampletank VSTi with an Aardvark 24/96 audio/midi interface. I can record and play back fine, but I notice two problems when playing back with the OPT midi editor open: 1. It sounds like the midi off message isn't being recognized. Every note has infinite sustain and the music turns to mud. 2. I don't seem to be able to adjust the volume above pp. Anybody worked through this one yet? Oh yeah - almost forgot: When checking the input level when getting ready to record, the meters in the record dialog seem to register the attack by peaking when I press a key on my controller keyboard, then drop to nothing...just the opposite of the OPT sustain problem above. Thanks -

I have not seen the problem you discribed in #1. The MIDI input meters on the record dialog are actually monitoring the MIDI input. If you move the Record dialog over and are routed to a softsynth, the mixer meters will indicate the level of the audio produced by the softsynth. Peter
