Hi,

Please post screen shots of the piano roll window and the main Arranger window, showing all buttons.

Do not reinstall the program, you are likely doing something wrong.

Hi John CB,

Thank you again !

Here are 3 snapshots

01 is main program window with a midi recording (long notes...)

02 is the window of the midi editor (notes truncated and quantized, quantize not selected ! )

03 are my midi options in prox 3 ( There is one dialog concerns "notes off" . All selected, sorry, french version... last dialog down of the box )

Hi,

Can you change the grid to bars/beats; it looks like a time grid. Then post screen shots of the main screen, including the top buttons and the piano roll.

John CB

Hi John !

Many Many thanxs !!

I rather always use objects grid ( mouse selection to objects and not to a musical grid ) because I use samplitude for sound post production more than music.

Here is a snap of the main window, a midi recording with long notes + the midi editor.

I have selected bars in the main quantize.

So the notes are automaticaly transformed as bar notes (...)

I have wrote a note with the pencil in the piano roll midi editor ( red one in the snapshot ), so... it's now automatiocaly a 1 bar note !

The arrow that I was using ( before ) to trim the notes appears and dispears instantly ( so it's not-usable...)

After all that I tried, I'm tended to think it's a major general bug :-(

@JeanMarie-onni

Hi Jean-Marie,

I presume that snap to grid is off, so you can put the note anywhere.

At the top, beside where you have 1 for the Grid quantize value, you have Length quantize value set to linked to the Grid quantize value. Thus when you drag an end left of right, it will only change in values of whatever is set under Grid quantize value, in this case everything that you put on the piano roll will be one bar long unless you drag further.

If you try to draw in a note, it will be 1 bar long. If you have a note on the piano role that is not one bar long, as soon as you touch it, it will become 1 bar long.

When you get the red arrow to increase the length, because of the 1 bar at the top, you can only drag 1 bar; if you stop dragging before getting to the next full bar, nothing happens.

At the top, switch to quarter notes. Now when you drag, you can get quarter note intervals.

If you want to free the length movement, you have to change the Length quantize value to the second one on the list.

Without have your exact settings, I can't really say if there is some other problem. I have no problems with Samplitude Pro X3.

Hi john,

Yes ! It explains right to me how the 2 midi quantization works.

The fact is that I have been using a lot Sam proX1 (since it's came out ) and samplitude old versions since a very long time... Perhaps prox3 midi behavior changes from the old issues

Also... Sometimes I want to do ( too much ) strange things with midi...

( like playing sample loops on keyboard not on the beat and rearange the sounds off the beat in midi editors...) 💩

I'm going now into restore something from the old versions.

Anyway ! Thank you for the time you spent on my problem.

Hi Jean-Marie,

I presume that you have it sorted out now. Kraznet has a big series of tutorials on Samplitude on YouTube that you may want to review.

Also, here is the link to the dedicated Samplitude Pro forum. You should join.

I've been using Samplitude Pro X5, and I encountered the same issue.

Also, as seen in the screenshot, even though the Length of the note selected is 2, and it plays for 2 seconds, visualizing it shows as 1. I don't understand if it's a bug or not, since I think I've already tried and pressed every button, restarted, tried to open different projects. I've been stuck for a while. Probably, re-installing the software would fix this bug?

Additionally, I can't adjust the Length by dragging the end right or left of the note (it doesn't even show the symbol over the cursor to adjust the length). The only way I'm able to change the length is by changing the number manually, meaning I have to write it, but does not update the bar to visualize the length.

@Maridany That's not a bug but simply the Cell edit mode. You probably enabled it. Click on the Cell button in the bottom left corner to disable it.
