Software instrument track playing MIDI data that isn't there

[JamesMatthews16]

Hi all,

 

I'm writing an orchestral piece in Logic Pro 9.1.8 using Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 and its ARIA sample player. I have the ARIA player set up in multi-output mode. Each section of the orchestra (strings, brass, etc) has its own multi-out ARIA instrument, and then the individual instruments of those sections is coming out of its own aux channel. E.g, contrabassoon is coming through 1/2, bassoon through 3/4, and so on.

 

Now, I had a melody that was originally sequenced into the bassoon track (woodwind aux 3/4). I didn't like it there, so I moved it to the clarinets instead (woodwind aux 5/6). Even though that MIDI region is no longer on the bassoon track, the bassoons are still playing it, along with the clarinets. I've found that if I remove the MIDI region from the clarinet track, then the bassoon stops playing it. If I make a copy of the MIDI region and put the copy in place of the original, the bassoon still plays it with the clarinet. If I move the region to another track (for example, the oboe), then the oboe will play it, but now instead of the bassoon playing it, the clarinet does.

 

Is there a bug with this MIDI region? Am I cursed by the distressed ghost of a bassoonist? Can someone make any sense of this?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

James

One thing I would check is the MIDI channel of the instruments and the MIDI file. I seem to remember having a similar issue with MOTU Symphonic. In addition to simply moving the MIDI region, I needed to change the MIDI channel of the notes within the region.

+1.. It will be an issue relating to the midi channel for that region/track and the midi channel used in PO4 for those instruments..

And if it is the problem, in the Event Editor, select all the notes from that region and then scroll the channel # ("Ch" parameter) to the destination channel.
