Ok, sounds good. Does it make sense to you though that it *was* working fine, in both 1.6.1+Herc and 1.8.0-beta1. Then, at the same time, I seemed to loose any midi data into 1.6.1+Herc and got that problem with the jog wheels in 1.7.0-beta1? I'll just expand/clarify here exactly the symptoms in case it helps. Load track. Don't press play. Turn the wheel a tiny bit forwards. It starts playing very fast normally - we would expect it not to continue playing after the jog wheel stops moving. Turn it a wee bit more forwards and it seems to double in speed. The same happens in reverse turning the jog wheel the other way. When the jog wheel is back in it's original position the track stops playing. As I say, the thing that puzzles me is that it was working ok. > > If you are able to do javascript, I could produce a basic Mk2 version of > the RMX script that you could tweak to get it to behave better...
