This is probably NOT what is going on, but to my ears it sounds like
a MIDI feedback loop. (Or a bunch of conflicting MIDI messages being
sent at the same time.) I think there are some strange anomalies that
occasionally crop up in Human Playback. If you export the section in
question to a MIDI file and then open it up in a good sequencing
program and look at all the data, you might find out what is going on.
Thanks much for the suggestion.
I saved the file as Midi with the Human Playback engaged. Having
experienced the conflict of HP when the same channels are used, I had
already taken care to make sure no two instruments were on the same channel.
The event list showed that the Midi file had all the controller messages
that handle the volume swells (etc.), but there were no conflicts and no
controller anomalies. It also played fine in Sonar using my regular
soundfont library.
Since this blatting never happens when HP is used with Finale's
synthgms.sf2 soundfont, I had guessed it was a problem with the
Garritan/Kontakt player combination. So it seems. Another bug fix to wait
for. In any case, the obscurity of NI's interface doesn't encourage
troubleshooting.
It seems I'm not alone, as James Gilbert's message just came through with
the same troubles.
In your clip it sounds like an extra note is being played -- you don't
have any hidden notes which might be there for spacing issues but not
for display, do you?
When James Gilbert mentioned that it sounds like a bad wave file being
played, I thought it might simply be distortion, but your file sounds
like another note.
In Sonar, perhaps you should look at the file in either staff view or
piano-roll view and see if there is another note-on/note-off pair
showing up.
But on the other hand, if it plays fine with the soundfont and not with
GPO, it's pretty clear the problem is with GPO or with the Kontakt player.
Do you get the same blatting if you use for example a GPO cello patch
instead of trombone? Trying that might help troubleshoot whether it's
the music, the patch, the player or some black-magic combination of them
all.
You didn't mention if you tried the file using GPO but with HP turned
off -- trying that might help troubleshoot the problem also.
