Recently I had a show away from home, so I used a Yamaha MOFX6 rather than my normal MIDI controller. I noticed this keyboard was sending a lot of MIDI information. So much that i was getting frozen notes behavior. When I noticed my MIDI interface flashing non-stop (whereas normally, only when notes are played), I tried to locate and stop it from transmitting so much MIDI information. After literally hours going through menu after menu, I was able to find things like arpeggio and sequencer data. I turned off everything I could find that could transmit MIDI. Eventually (luckily, just before showtime), the freezing notes stopped happening. My question: is there a way to filter out everything except channel, program change, and note on and off information? Or any suggestions on how to avoid this stressful situation in the future if i need to use someone else’s keyboard?
The continuous data being sent is
Clock and active sense.
Then also block whatever else you don’t need from it.

Thank you. Would I need to set this for every MIDI In instance? I use multiple ins per Rackspace and have dozens of Rackspaces.

Each block is independent, yes.
