Imagine Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 So I just swapped the MP11SE for the Montage 8. I have it connected to my 2019 Mac Pro via USB. To be clear, I never had this problem with the MP11SE. I bring up my Pro Tools template, and I'll record a staccato violin (one note only) on the Montage (in this case C4, but this happens no matter what notes I play), it'll show up as though it's been played 5 times. See pic below. As you can see from the pic, there are (5) C4 Events. When I play the note, 4 of the 5 events will appear in the MIDI Event list when the key is down. When I let go of the key, 1 event will appear. The other thing that occurs is that when I'm recording the staccato violin, it's much louder than when I'm playing it back. Any thoughts as to why this is happening? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miden Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Not sure if it does, but does the Montage have Hi-Res MIDI?

Imagine Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I don't know. I never looked into that. What exactly would that do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Would that be coming off the Montage? I've looked at all my settings and everything seems correct. I've never had this issue before so I'm not familiar with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 If you have Montage midi out -> computer midi in, plus computer midi out -> Montage midi in, check and make sure the Montage midi Local is turned off. Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagine Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 mate stubb, I don't quite understand. The Montage is connected via USB. If you're referring to something completely different, could you please elaborate? The Local is Off. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscapeRocks Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Another thing to look at: In the Performance you're playing on the Montage, how many parts make up the sound? Depending how you set up you Montage, all parts could be sending MIDI data. i.e. it's possible that Performance is made up of 5 separate parts.

Mark Schmieder Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 For recording vs. playing back, you may be getting double-monitoring of the input pair and the main output pair. That would explain why it sounds louder.

Hi David, how do I change this so that only one part is sending data? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by "may be getting double-monitoring of the input pair and the main output pair", and how do I change this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagine Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Also, if I'm using Pro Tools, do I need to install this? https://www.steinberg.net/en/support/downloads_hardware/yamaha_steinberg_usb_driver.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagine Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Guys, I think I got it. There's a lot of info on this page about what I was trying to do. https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/yamaha-montage-daw-setup-and-recording/ In the Setting up your DAW section, I turned off the 5 KbdCtrl channels. That fixed both the loudness I was hear during playback and the multiple midi notes. Is there a way to save this setting so that I don't have to turn off the 5 KbdCtrl every time I turn the Montage On? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscapeRocks Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Yes, Just save the Performance. It will save it to a USER slot, and ask you to name it. Whatever state you have the KBD Ctrl, when you Save, will be what's saved. Quote David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagine Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thanks David. I'll try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
