Channel aftertouch messages emited spuriously from MIDI out
Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2015 4:04 pm
Sorry if this was already mentioned but I didn't see it.
O/S version 1.2.6. I'm using the DIN MIDI out port connected to my computer. When I go to the MIDI page and turn MIDICtrl On, the Solaris starts to send out channel aftertouch messages without me touching anything. They all have data value of 0. The timing is kind of random/sporatic and the average is a little under one per second. I've tried calibrating the keyboard aftertouch a couple of times but it's the same.
One way you can see this is by using some MIDI monitor software. I'm on a Windows computer and I'm using the MIDI-OX program. Also, I'm going though a MIDISport adapter with LEDs so I can see the activity that way as well.
On a side note, I noticed that while with most presets the aftertouch messages give a continuous range of values, when I select preset 0.1 (P5 PolyFM) and press down, the only aftertouch values sent are either 0 or 63 (0x3F). I haven't dug into it yet so that may be normal behavior for some reason. I just thought it odd.
