MIDI Panic – All Notes Off

When playing together with hardware and software instruments, "hanging" notes can sometimes occur. They are caused when, after a NoteOn command, for some reason the corresponding NoteOff command does not actually get through to the tone generator, so that the tone sounds permanently.

At the very bottom of the menu Playback select MIDI Panic - All notes off to end the hanging notes. The command sends a NoteOff message to all MIDI devices that have not been disabled in the MIDI options for all 128 notes on all 16 channels. In addition, the Sustain (controller 64) is switched off, the pitch wheel and the modulation are set to 0. An All Notes Off command is sent to all VST instruments used in the project.

You can set in the MIDI options that individual NoteOff events for all notes on all channels are also sent to the VST instruments.

The function can also be executed by clicking the stop button in the transport console again after stopping the project!
