Next Question: key-repeat of computer-keyboard retriggers midi

I opened a new topic, just for a better overview.

Today I realized that every time I trigger an audio-instrument (vst) and continue pressing the key on the computer-keyboard the note first gets normally triggered and then repeated very fast, causing level-accumulation and weird phasing. This is simply the computer-keyboard key-repeating feature retriggering the midi note very fast. When I turn key-repeat off with

Code: Select all

xset r off
I can play normally and hold down the key as long as I want.

Is this default behaviour? Could have sworn yesterday it wasn't the case and that I could play MIDI via the computer-keyboard and hold down keys without this retriggering (Is there some setting could have messed up accidentally?).

Thanks again

You're right, it should not be like that by default. Seems like you have enabled the "Enable keyboard autorepeat ..." option under Edit -> Preferences -> Editor.

Oh man, silly me.... How blind one can be! Thanks for helping with this one, too. As expected, user-error this time. Now back to testing this awesome software :)
