Is this something you downloaded from the internet?


Thanks for posting Bob, No, this is 1-of-5 Tracks created within PTP12. The file is in the native *.seq format of PTP12.

The big clue from you is you say the problem happens when you start the file from the beginning. That certainly sounds like a program change or a sysex string in the beginning of the file. If you don't see it in the instrument track itself, it may be in a separate track that is just used for data. At first glance all the other tracks look empty but when you open the event list for each "empty" track, there's all this stuff in one of them. It can get very tricky.


I agree w/U on the "big clue". I am a newbie at this Home DAW stuff. I've been reading about & testing a bunch of new hardware & software. I must confess I don't understand much of the Home VST DAW so far but, I'm learning. I have managed to do basic MIDI editing (Copy/smooth-paste, Velocity, Duration, limited Mixer customizing.) When I peek into PTP's EVENT WINDOW, I am not sure of what should or should not be there. I understand how to edit it. I don't know what to put in it!

I don't know the 1st thing about coding SysEx. There R very few, brief code snippets in PTP's Help file for specific purposes- just references on accessing the feature. I've found more 'code snippets' in PTP's FAQs but, no tutorial on customizing the SysEx in general. Thus, unlike taking an ASP/Java Script snippet & plugging into a Web Page code, I can't use them.

I am sure given time, I will web-search & read more on the SysEx part of MIDI Technology. It WOULD shorten my learning curve, if anyone can help in this SysEx idea. I've looked everywhere, that I am confident to edit in PTP for a cause and found none. I must agree w/U, it probably is caused by that which I am NOT competent to edit. I will try to go that route. Thanks again for bringing the idea (that a SysEx issue is a valid suspect).
