trouble recording midi

[wannaberocker]

Hello, i am running PTLE 7.4 and am trying to record a midi track to trigger a VI drum program ( SSD in Kontakt2 )from an external controller.

I wanted to see if this is a good way to record drums but i wanted to do it cheaply...so i borrowed my friends RockBand2 Ion Kit and plugged the pads into an Alesis d4 then midi out to my 002. even at a buffer of 64, the drums trigger very well....and it works great untill i try to record the midi notes...

...some of the notes are not recorded to the midi track! Its almost like i just simply did not hit them...although i see the and hear the VI being triggered as i played the "kit" during tracking...

Is this a computer-power related thing or does PTLE just simply have problems recording MIDI? It sux going through and filling in the "gaps" missed.

Thought about upgrading to PTLE 8 but if that doesn't fix the problem...then its a waste.

Ha! Yes, i figured out my problem! i need to use my a different midi port...not the one on the interface! Now time to move to the next issue....
