I am seeing the GP playhead start (go to On) seemingly on it’s own. Logically, that should not be possible, but that’s the way it seems.
I’ll be playing on my Seaboard and out of the blue the playhead comes on (triggering a count-in, which I have scripted to happen when the playhead comes on). Link is not on, the only data arriving in GP AFAIK is the data from my Seaboard.
I am writing to ask if anyone else has ever experienced this, and if so, do you remember what the actual culprit was? Thanks.
True, but that doesn’t mean the keyboard isn’t sending out a spacebar command due to a malfunction. Just to be on the safe side, I would disconnect it while experimenting to remove it as a possible source of the issue.
I’m also curious to see if, after the playhead turns on, you keep playing and at some point it gets turned off.
I didn’t see anything obvious (though I’m hardly a decent script diagnostician).
I guess my suggestions are remedial at this point. Start simple, with a blank gig. Add things slowly until you can reproduce the issue.
OK, I have now managed to demonstrate the problem happening in a New Empty Gig.
IOW, from a New Empty Gig, with the Seaboard’s MIDI In port enabled, I play the Seaboard and eventually the playhead will come on.
With that port disabled, I can play the Seaboard indefinitely w/o the playhead coming on. (I would say “obviously” here, but I’m trying to avoid all assumptions!)
No, a few system messages get intercepted too early. I don’t think Start/Stop get tracked. If your seaboard is sending those out, that would definitely trigger the playhead
I don’t know how those got that way, but I undid them by invoking the Roli Dashboard ‘MPE - default’ preset and (fingers crossed!) that seems to have solved the GP playhead starting for no obvious reason. I will report back if I see otherwise going forward.
I’ll express that for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes, I think it would be helpful if somehow it were possible to see absolutely all MIDI incoming to or outgoing from GP.
Whether this would be in the Global MIDI Monitor (by default, or as an option), or whether certain “pre-processing” messages were somehow separately displayed, knowing for certain exactly what MIDI is there or not there at the in/out boundaries of GP is desirable, IMO.
That’s a worthy thought to add to this thread. Sometimes Protokol may help and people should know about it.
Notable also though, is that a list of what X sends (which is what Protokol offers) is not the identical thing as a list of what Y receives. Only Y can actually supply that.
