I thought OS 1.5 solved my problem of stuck notes but it's back! In fact, i just didn't play long enough when i reported here that all was well. I'm not reporting in the RH3 thread since i don't have any problems when i play the Kronos by itself or with my computer system through the Kronos USB MIDI interface. So, the keybed or keys are not the culprit here.

If i use the old school MIDI ports, i have constant stuck notes and notes that don't trigger. I'm on OSX10.6.8 with Logic Pro 9.1.5 and RME Babyface. Never had any problem with that system and my previous controller(Korg 01/W Pro, so i guess i can rule out the computer side of it. I don't even use any KARMA stuff that could fill up the MIDI stream...

Anybody on the same kind of system is seeing this? Thanks.

Sorry to hear you still have problems after upgrading.

There would be an answer in midst Dec as far as I know ... and there is one sticky thread about this issue.

Hi Michel,
Thanks for the reply. I didn't see anything in the thread about the RH3 that looks like my problem(and i don't have 3 hours to read it all). I was hoping someone with the same kind of setup as mine would confirm the problem. If someone tells me that they don't have any problems, i'll go buy new MIDI cables, but i fear it will be a useless purchase...

Sorry I see I misread, I thought it was about cutoff notes, but now I see it's about stuck notes. Forgive me.

And I'm sorry, I don't have a solution either.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the reply. I could plug the K directly to my Z1. I'll also buy a MIDI cable today and replace my current cable. Could be as stupid as a faulty cable. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi all,
Well, a big thank you to Martin. I found culprit: RME Babyface MIDI IN port!! When i plugged the K directly to the Z1 i had no problem. I then plugged the Z1 to the RME MIDI input... problems, problems!

I have a Edirol MIDI interface, so i installed the drivers and connected it to the Kronos and all is working great.

Mr. Martin, i owe you a big one!! Thanks.

I briefly had an rme hdsp years ago...note I only use the counter for midi/vi work (audio elsewhere)...I had TONs of midi issues with the RME. I think they cut corners with their code to get the audio latency so low that make midi and VIs not as compatible. Glad you found it.
