Yep…been messing with them for a couple years now and went down some deep rabbit holes. I came to the conclusion it was a function of quantizing and the fact that I was triggering fast tempo perform chords directly (either by hand or using midi sequenced). I was also doing a lot of recursion at the time where I was feeding Scaler it’s own performance midi. Here is a thread on that.
This would generate a huge volume of midi with small notes. I assumed that the transistion from one perform chord to another, sometimes occurred just off beat and resulted in notes that were not finished playing or were just starting. In my scenarios, I often found that enabling Play Quantize helped keep things clean.
So that being said, How are you triggering your midi? Are you using Scaler Playback, Triggering chords directly using bound keys or are you using midi sequences? Do you get the micros in all those scenarios?
Also curious about the capture process. Do you get them when you
- Are using a midi capture track in your DAW
- using midi capture from w/in Scaler
- Drag and drop performances from Scaler
Also, have you noticed any correlation to speed of performance and presence of micro notes?
FWIW, I did a 4 part video series on Chord Duration & Timing. Part 3 has a piece about feeding Scaler it’s own midi.
