This conclusion puzzles me, because I don't think it fits the symptoms. Remember that I said that the first time I played it back, it sounded fine? One can't be 100% sure of their recollection of an event, but this is how I remember it. I started recording, and was pleased to hear the different instruments (chords vs. melody), thinking "Ah - it's working." After stopping the recording, I was pleased that it didn't crash on hitting the "Stop" button (which it used to do before you fixed that problem months ago). Then I played-back the entire recording, and it was perfect - no missing chord notes (like it used to do months earlier). So I saved the file for reference, feeling good that the problem was fixed. My memory of events here is not clear - I may have re-loaded the ".rg" file. For some reason, after saving it, I decided to play it back again, upon-which I noticed many missing chord notes, to which my thoughts were "What the (expletive deleted)?" The next day I examined the results in more detail, seeing the missing notes in the matrix (and notation) editors. That puzzled me. I exported the file as a MIDI file (.mid), so my onboard sequencer could play it. On playing it with my onboard sequencer, I noticed the missing chords were there, but they were not continuous notes - if they were tied, the ties were lost. I remember there was a prior problem you (or someone) fixed with exporting MIDI files, where somehow the note-off event was getting exported immediately after the note-on event of the following note. I conclude that the fix for this earlier problem was causing it to export the MIDI file without the missing notes. But the significant thing in this long-winded e-mail, is that given the sequence of events I observed, It appears the chord notes were messed up in the process of saving the ".rg" file - not in recording it. -- Sincerely, Aere ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
