ReWire MIDI/Sliced instruments bug/7.0.2.b5 and earlier

Greetings,

This bug still exists in this beta version, which I alerted you to in an email from 1/21......

"Greetings All,

I have noticed a bug that has been a bit annoying. When Rewired to Performer, Midi (real time from a keyboard) will not get processed by Live ( Live "sees" it...) and will not trigger a sliced track, simpler instrument, sampler instrument, impulse instrument. I have noticed some interuption with Performer's midi from time to time when rewired to Live. Live 7.0.1 functions flawlessly in standalone mode and I have not tested this with Live as a Rewire master to Reason.

In addition, clips recorded with a sliced track sometimes comeback with odd or no clip loop points when rewired, although the work-around is fairly easy.

1/24/08

This has occurred on two separate machines, both Macs, one an Intel machine, the other a dual G4 1.25 both running OSX 10.4.11. This ONLY occurs under Rewire slaved to Performer 5.11... I have no other DAW to slave Live to

Upon slicing a piece of audio to a new midi track, the behavior becomes erratic. Midi gets processed initially, that is, one can play the new sliced instrument, but NO data gets recorded to a clip when recoding commences. In a seemingly random fashion, MIDI triggering of the new sliced instrument disappears, although the MIDI indicator lights showing that Live still sees the incoming MIDI signal. I have also witnessed this behavior with Impulse, Sampler and single Simpler instruments. Again, this problem does not happen when Live stands alone or is the Rewire master.

1/26 This still exists in 7.0.2.b5 and have noticed also that access to one's hardware MIDI interface dissappears. 7.0.2.b5

It's important to note that when these conditions exist, one can't even commence recording a clip. When the track is record enabled, hitting the clip button to start recording just causes Live to do nothing at all

Keep the faith!

fritzdoddy,

this problem should be fixed with the latest beta, Live 7.0.2b6:

We're getting closer! MIDI is stable, predictable and responds like one believes it should when a piece of audio is sliced. The sliced clip that is created will play, the notes can be manually erased and replaced with new midi events/notes when the transport is ONLY in overdub mode, you cannot overwrite the automatically sliced notes. One still cannot record midi notes/events in a new clip in the newly created instrument in a blank clip slot under rewire. An improvement for sure though.
