The MIDI Specification says:
“A receiver must be capable of recognizing either method of turning off a note, and should treat them identically.”

Missed that. I guess they taught us wrong in college.
At any rate, I have three pieces of gear right now that don’t recognize it.
Maybe the specs should imply both sending methods.

When I studied music tech in the early 2000s we were specifically taught that it didn’t comply with the MIDI spec but was still best practice because it usually worked and saved bandwidth. By the editor of a very well known music tech magazine I won’t name here, no less. Add it to the very long list of “incorrect things I was taught in music school.”

Me too around 1995.
Midi lessons with Atari’s!
Btw I think I didn’t know about Notes On Vel 0 as Notes Off before OT!

I’ve heard this multiple times from different kind of people (it’s pretty much circulating the internet and fits well with the ‘OT is odd thing’). I was pretty suprised when I found out, that midi indeed specifies both methods.

By the time I graduated almost everything we were taught about digital audio best practices was completely wrong, because I graduated just as everything really started to move from 16 bit to 24 bit.

Bug with PASTE AUDIO.
In Audio editor, recording buffer.
Select audio, Copy / Paste with Fn+Play, Fn+Stop.
The PASTE AUDIO function is stuck, even outside AED, everytime you press stop, it shows PASTE AUDIO.
(Workarounds : use Edit > Paste Selection, or hold Stop outside AED).

Hi, just wanted to keep you posted since the midi interface arrived today and … the midi that is coming out of the octatrack looks as I would expect (except that I was playing c2 and not c1 notes).
So I am assuming this is a bug in the mpc. Why the rack is influenced as well? I dont know, my only explanation as of now is that it developed a personality.
@sezare56 many thanks for assisting!

Hey all, I submitted a ticket for this already but when I try to use AMP + NO to reset the AMP setup page to default, it completely spazzes out for as long as I hold NO down, and when I release it randomly goes to another page.
It still resets the knobs, but there’s no way the rapidly flashing screen is intentional. Just seeing if I’m alone in this. I’ve tried reloading the OS and making a blank project… it still happens.
You sure about that?
Manufacturers can make up their own definitions.
Yes, I am sure. I guess midi is more a suggestion then a standard
I just double checked:
When I Program a C2 into the octatrack, my midi interface and the mpc report C1.
The Digitone Receives a C3.
Some manufactures will tell you that midi note 48 is C3; others will tell you that midi note 60 is C3

Some manufacturers have 2 definitions!
Octatrack, Machinedrum, Monomachine : Note 0 is C-1
From Analog Four : Note 0 is C0.

I just tried and didn’t experience anything particular with Amp page + No, after Amp page + Yes, part saved of not…

I wondered why I couldn’t find anything online. Ugh. It’s not technically “broken” but a little upsetting considering my Mk II is only about a year old.
Could you make a video?

You might have mixed up reload vs reset. When you want to reset the pages to the default you might want to press amp+play that should clear the settings to the default … if I am not mixing something up now
