Commands window_MIDI events_operating on their own

Post by rosindabow »

I hit my piano keyboard to trigger a sample and my song began to play. This never happened before. I began when I hit B2. Then I hit G2 and it went into Record. I looked in my Commands window and shire enough, there are MID events associated with those keys. I did not set those and this has never been an issue before. Is there an overall command that dibbles these triggering MIDI events? How did this suddenly begin? Thanks.

You have to change or turn off the relevant MIDI Masters in the Commands window. See p 94 manual, These probably got turned on with an update or change in preferences.

Yup. And sometimes those masters can be turned on by some accidental (querty) keyboard combination as well. It's an easy fix. But yea, frustrating when it happens.

Just open the commands and turn those masters off. If you find that other commands you use are also disabled, figure out which masters you need.
