hallo there.

i have this weird problem (i think it's weird, but i'm sorta a 
midiot) where something in my pc daw is sending out random midi data.

going into my pc is a Yamaha UX256, a usb 6x6 midi interface, a 
MidiMan Oxygen 8 usb keyboard controller and a MOTU 828mkII (the 
firewire input also carries one midi channel).

the only one of those that i am using as a midi interface is the 
UX256, which has a Korg ms2000r, a Electron SidStation, a DSI Evolver 
and a Korg Electribe MX-1 that each have there own in and out midi 
port.  none of them are chained together.

even when I don't have Sonar open (the sequencer i use), sometimes 
i'll see the led display window on the Oxygen 8 start changing 
values.  like, it will run up and down thru a number range.  and i've 
only noticed it when Sonar is open, but sometimes the pitch will 
start being adjusted up and down randomly on my Korg EMX-1.  and when 
i record midi tracks into Sonar, sometimes there will be controll 
data recorded that i was not manipulating.

anybody have any ideas about what's going on in my setup?

thanks much,

Have you tried using MIDI-OX? http://www.midiox.com/

There's input/output 'monitors' that show you a list of midi messages as 
they travel in and out of your pc's midi connections. That might help 
you track down the source.

thanks for the idea Mark.

I'll try that when I get home.

'preciate it!
