Hi USINERS

I'm actualy using a MIDI filter module to filter MIDI chan as the simplest way by selecting the desired chan to filter in the last module parameter.

I have One MIDI wire connected in the module whith two MIDI channel data flows, only MIDI (ON/OFF) notes:

Channel 5 data and channel 1 data. (the channel number doesn't mater)

The module is filtering the Channel 5 notes and of coars the channel 1 notes are stopped (...just to be clear in my explanation).

I notice that when channel 1 data flow is very high (4 pitch notes whith low quantisation beat 1/32, 1/64...)
The module is responding strangely in the filtery process. He creat some times more note OFF than note ON....

I have to precise that channel 1 data flow for this test is very low (one same note every bar)

I guess there is a problem whith the module because when i mute upstream channel 1 data the module answer is ok ...

Do you have notice this problem ?

regards

Charles

I think I have often the similar pb.
. from what I feel overall feeding to much data in same midi channel tend to lost some events "catch", also if dealing with really hi speed as you mention (1/32, 64, 128). (at more 1/128 speed I think its normal it can loose an event..)
the module must have a very low but existing latency when filtering the midi in, so during that time really Hi speed event that should pass maybee don't.. This might be a patch pb, but it's maybe more because of the weird way midi send data stream not truely in a polyphonic way but event after event...kind of midi jitter pb. I just wonder why the midi has still not being updated, is it so old it will never be? always frustrating to manually toggle..
I wonder if there is a way/setting to optimize midi event catch in usine...

I imagine that you can have troubles if there are several midi notes in the same bloc calculation.
try the following approach:
- reduce the best bloc size in the asio setup
- put all the midi modules in a subpatch and activate the 'unpack' in the midi in of the sub patch.
let me know.
if it still appends, send me an example by mail, I'll check it

Hi

Olivier i try your suggestion and it was the same problem even with bloc size of 64 (i use an RME fire 400)

But i find an alternativ and now it work like a charm !!!

I just put in parallel the same filter module to filter the same channel but filtering on top of that the note OFF !
