MIDI notes playing infinitely/sticking when playing virtual instruments
I've searched high and far to find an answer to this problem and it continues to be a thorn in my side. Pretty much rendering using Logic Pro X pretty much useless for me in the ways that I use it.
The problem is this: when I am playing a virtual instrument, some midi notes will not release completely at random, and thus will ring out infinitely. I have to stop and start playback again to get them to stop playing. This problem has spanned multiple MIDI keyboards so it is definitely Logic X messing up.
This is particularly frustrating as an organ player as the organ has infinite sustain. Countless sessions have been ruined by this bug and I'm pretty much at wits end trying to get an answer. There have been a couple of solutions posted on this and other forums (one that I will detail down below) but none of them have worked.
Really have found no successful solutions to this problem whatsoever and it's utterly ruining my experience working with Logic X.
Unsuccessful solution posted on Jul 2, 2015 in this forum:
- Quit Logic Pro
- In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
- Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
- Press the Go button.
- Remove the "com.apple.logic10.plist" file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you've programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You might want to export your custom key commands before performing this step.
- Remove the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder. (Note this is the control surface settings file. You may need to set up your control surfaces again after deleting this)
- Restart the computer.
