Hi,
I’m running the latest Babyface Pro USB drivers driver_usb_win_1168.zip from the RME download page, the Roland RD700SX is out of maintenance but I had updated that regularly and did not experience any problems during past years.
But again this can not be root cause because
a) I can use ALL other DAWs and stand-alone hosts with other VST plugins without any such problems of hanging notes
b) for reference I just connected an Arturia Keystep 25 key controller (also running latest FW) using direct USB midi connection and guess what: the problem with hanging EZbass notes is exactly the same!

About “complex” notes: there is nothing special, I play fast legato phrases or use double-stop polyphony phrases (e.g. a tritone like a typical Jaco funk phrase), all of which can be easily digested by all other acoustic or electric bass plugins, whether run in the DAW or as standalone host.
Please refer to the Midi files I attached in one of my previous posts

Regards Markus

I’m using Roland RD-700SX keyboard which is connected to RME Babyface Pro Midi interface for which I have loaded the latest drivers.

Also: I’m not experiencing ANY midi problems with any DAW like Cubase Pro 10.5 or Ableton Live Suite nor any other stand-alone Host program, be it NI Kontakt, Komplete Kontrol, UVIworkstation/Falcon, all Spetrasonics stand-alone instruments or or …

So the problem really is with EZbass host program or with its Midi resolution, chord recognition or the like

Hi Henrik,

here are the midi files recorded by both Cubase Pro 10.5 and EZbass in parallel while playing fast and polyphonic phrases, and you can clearly/hear see EZbass gets hanging while Cubase works fine – so something seems to be wrong with EZbass midi recording tool

I’m using Cubase 10.5 Pro and I disabled any quantization when playing the Midi bass line, so there can not be any cleaning there.

While when playing the base line directly into EZbass via midi keyboard it keeps hanging up/swallowing some notes, this is esp. true for fast legato phrases and double stops (aka 2 notes played synchronously)

Hi Henrik,

sorry I wrongly exported both Drum+Bass Midi data together, I have now attached the Bass Midi only

I just imported this Midi file to latest EZbass 1.0.3 and it seems to cope well with just playing the Midi file – HOWEVER: when playing the same phrase manually via midi keyboard it still hangs up and swallows several notes!

Hi Henrik,

here is a similar MIDI recording using Cubase Pro 10.5 using EZbass as plugin, I have not experienced such hanging notes effect so far, so it seems the EZbass midi recording SW gets some kick-ups with fast legato and polyphonic passages.

It’s a pity that EZbass does not have string recognition algorithm since this would add a lot a realism to the playing.

Also the velocity triggered articulations would be great (e.g. damped for low velocity, fingered for middle and slapped for very high)

Regards

Markus

I tried to record the hanging note symptom playing a fast triplet sequence of single and chord notes (all very staccato/ Jaco style), and you can see from the grid editor that some notes keep hanging. Also there seems to be a strange quantization effect, i.e. some played notes get swallowed or come later, like if the string mapping algortihm needs some thinking time. Did you also recognize that playing tritone intervals (typical funk phrases) is either not recognized or put even to the same string – something that a real bass player would never do! So you really need to improve the string mapping algorithm a lot°!
