Midi editing causing staccato notes

Struggling to edit my midi notes (currently working on piano) as they keep becoming staccato, although they are still displayed as longer length notes. If I try to use either transform (random velocities between values) or quantize (swing), most, but not all of the notes become staccato, this is especially the case if the notes were overlapped before editing. Just tried to manually stretch and shrink the notes by selecting them all and dragging to the desired length, still getting the same problem.

I do recall a setting to do with overlapping midi notes, but cant seem to find it, not certain it is relevant to this issue but had thought it worth checking out. Am getting this in 8.10, so reverted to 8.2 and still getting the same problem… Is this to do with a setting I may of missed? Am trying to get a piano sound like with the sustain pedal held down…

What instrument plugin are you using? There are multiple reasons this could be happening.

CC 64 should be sustain pedal. You can add it manually in the automations for the MIDI track.

Are there any other mesaages being sent by your controller that would cause this ? The ACE MIDI monitor plugin can help view what is being sent / received.

The plugin instrument may not allow it to be sustained, or the patch is specifically staccato.

Hi Schmitty…
Not a problem with the controller, had it switched off and was manually writing the notes in a region, then edited them to overlap slightly, thats where the problem popped up…

Tried it with MDA piano, Ace fluid synth, Yoshimi and General midi, same result each time… MDA Piano is the one I would like it to work with…

Deleted the track, rebooted, could not replicate the problem… Am happily editing my midi and all is good… gremlins…
