Criticle Bug(s)

If you are talking about merging MIDI streams outside of the MIDI editor, could you possibly provide an example?

Here is a quick example using just a js effect. Open an empty midi item and add 2 1/8 notes. Add the js effect JS: midi_syncdelay then from the main arrange window run the action "Apply track/take FX to items(MIDI output)" and you'll notice in the output one of the notes was cropped to zero length. This is just a quick basic example. I'm usually using VST plugins such as arpeggio generators or note repeaters and depending on the settings in the plugin I'll end up with some notes that are cropped just a little bit and others that are cropped to zero. Just to note in the above example you could even use two different notes for example A3 and G3 and the outcome is still the same.

I don't have the effect JS:midi_syncdelay. Where is that from?

It was made by forum member cern.th.skei and can be found here Note: In my example I set the parameter beats to 1.0

Thanks for the example. In this case, the FX is outputting only one note-on event, and no note-offs. You can see this by inserting ReaControlMIDI or JS/MIDI/midi_logger after the JS FX. [edit] With the FX parameter set to 1.0, the FX outputs one note-on, then 448 ticks later a note-off, note-on, and note-off all at the same time: So, the FX output is getting recorded properly -- in this case the problem is with the FX.

I was afraid you were going to say that. Give me just a few minuets and I'll post a couple of other examples using a couple of the freeware VST plugins by insertpizhere.

Sorry it took me so long to reply.., I did some more testing and I think I narrowed down the problem a bit. Ok here is one example using this plugin Try this. After you setup the midiNoteRepeater plugin as in the pic. Setup a second track and route trk.1 to trk.2. Set trk.2s record arm to "Record output(MIDI)" On trk.1 create a new MIDI item of about 5-10sec. Open the item and in the editor make sure that the option "Preview notes on add/edit" is ticked. Now hit record so trk.2 is recording and add a note to the grid. Click stop and look at the newly recorded item on trk.2 and you'll notice that it worked as expected. Now delete the recorded item and record again but this time just let it record the note you added before(in other words don't click on the grid again} Stop recording and open the item on trk.2 and you'll see the original problem. So what it looks like is rendering or recording previously laid down notes is where the problem lies. I hope this is fixable? :D

I think I'll wait until the first bug from my original post is fixed and see if that has any effect on this other issue, at the very least it will make testing stuff a little easier.
