A. Well, a number of things can cause any of these symptoms. First, try a new set of MIDI cables. Are the cables too long? Cables over 25 feet or so can cause problems. If you are around other equipment that generates a lot of external interference (not very common), this could be adding “noise” to the MDI data. If it happens rarely, then it may be the fact that some MIDI devices are built better than others. This is due to the serial nature of MIDI itself. There is no way for a controller to know if its host(s) are receiving the data properly. If it happens a lot and your cables are good, then you most likely have either one or more faulty devices (needs repair) or a slow processor, or ill-designed software. Below is a list of known or potentially troublesome factors: – PCs with processors slower than a 386 (likely) – PC’s with too many icons on the desktop and/or too many shortcuts and/or fonts in Windows 95/98/NT/2000/Me (known) – Commodore computers other than Amigas (likely) – Ver
