Hi There,

I'm having an issue when using the Query keyboard for inputing midi notes. For some VST's (I've tried AU version as well) when I press a note on the keyboard the keys 'stick' and the note keeps playing continuously. The key(s) on the query keyboard remains blue (on).

Any ideas what could be causing this. It makes it unusable

Also is there any way to have the Query keyboard operate like every other DAW i.e having the middle 2 rows of letters represent the piano keys rather than the top row and the numbers I find this extremely awkward.

Thanks :)

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback - Signature updated :)

Yes, I mean the Qwerty keyboard.

Currently I am getting the issue with various VST's U-He Repro and Zebra, Arturia Solina (basically what I'm using in the track) but have had the issue before (I stopped using Studio 1 on my previous Mac as it was maxing out on CPU and causing audio dropouts), but can't recall exactly which plugins.

It also seems random in that it doesn't happen every time.

There's no outboard gear at all. Just playing back through the Mac speakers.

I'll check out the pipeline thing. Hopefully that will sort it. I use the qwerty keyboard a lot, so it's a pretty major deal for me.

I'm running into this issue also, where the keys get stuck whenever I use the qwerty keyboard. I found that if I have the qwerty in from of the instrument it does not get stuck, but if I click on the instrument and the qwerty moves to the back and I press the any key it gets stuck.

Yes the QWERTY controller likes being in focus. Just keep it in focus and you won't have any issues.

Did you know that the Tab key is linked to the Sustain button for the QWERTY controller. You can use this to great effect. Also you can release notes from sustaining too.

Also, if you do get any stuck notes, simply click on the Midi symbol way down bottom left of the transport bar, and when the Midi Monitor window opens, just click on All Notes Off down bottom right of that window.

I don't think the QWERTY keyboard should have to be in focus in order to use it. What if I want to tweak a synth or effects while playing live. I can't. It's annoying I aint even gone lie.

Yeah, it's absolutely as Jemusic says. Its been that way as long as I can remember. You can position the QWERTY keys in an open area unobstructed, and it will at times be fine until whatever that plugin or instrument in focus requires to see in key commands will often take over. As mentioned, the Qwerty controller "likes" to be in focus. It's not always.

The opposite also holds true. If you mouse click on the arrangement view, and you want to move around via the arrow keys let's say the up/down arrows to move from track to track, you can't if the Qwerty is in focus. You end up changing the volume of the next note to be played. Clunky.
The Qwerty option is really just a poor substitute for having a real (even any) hardware controller.

Just a thought, if you're playing live or in studio, you'll really want to avoid the Qwerty controller. Its fine for things like being an a flight, and you're trying to catch up on a few edits, but for most usage, it's going to cause frustrating and also slower results.
Cheers!

To be honest in my situation using the QWERTY keyboard as a controller, it rarely gets stuck notes here at my end. It seems to work no matter where the window is and if it's in focus or not. But I did manage to get odd stuck note by doing something and I think switching windows was it.

It's cool the way the Sustain function works in the QWERTY controller window.

If you can make the QWERTY keyboard work for you then ATOM SQ is also an ideal controller. The keyboard is well laid out, velocity sensitive and more playable.

I havent had this before, in the several years I've been using SO, but since today, this keeps happening and I dont have a clue why.
At the moment I'm using a very simple setup, empty worksheet, with Kontakt, thats it. one time its fine and notes release when I let go of the key, but like every two minutes, the keys on the qwerty window stay lit up and wont release until I click the key with the mouse.

Its a pretty prominent function for me, not as much for playing parts, Ive got several synth keyboards for that, but when I'm creating sounds, I'm in front of the computer, so I can reach the mouse and touchscreen, and not completely unimportant, read the small print on the monitors.

Is there a fix yet?

Cheers!
Maarten

Yes, it only happens with 3rd party vst's. Every time you change a parameter or select a different patch via your mouse, then try to play on the QWERTY keyboard, you'll get the "sticky notes". One workaround that I've been using is to show and hide the instrument editor after tweaking to selecting a different patch. So in my case, i'll hit the "K" on my keyboard twice before I press any other key to play notes. If I don't, I'll get the "sticky keys" and I'll will have to hide the instrument editor, select my "All notes off" button which I have it on my macro tool bar, then show instrument editor again and play. Sounds like a lot but that's the only way I can use the QWERTY keyboard to play notes. Just remember not to play notes after clicking on the vst before you hide and show the instrument editor. Let me know if this makes sense.

Same feedback as others have posted for MacOS 13.2 with version 6.0.2.91029 ARM. Studio One is great and this is about the only major issue I am having with it. Never had this issue with any other DAW.

All 3rd party AU/VST3 plugins have this issue with stuck keys when using the qwerty keyboard. When you change focus to the instrument while playing, like to adjust settings inside the plugin, every key you press will become stuck as shown below.

This is after pressing q, w, r and then adjusting a macro knob inside the instrument and then stopping the physical key press. The notes stay active in qwerty keyboard UI and the instrument continues to play these notes.

Sometimes you can click the highlighted key to not the note but other times it doesn't and you need to reset the instrument entirely or swap presets.

As others have stated it won't stick notes if you remove focus from the instrument before playing a note. But this is terrible from a workflow perspective and makes it unusable for sound design.

I am also still having this same issue. Honestly disappointing that this has been a problem for this long.

It's not that it's ever been a universal problem. It isn't.
Have you tried comparing another control device such as a MIDI nstrument keyboard controller? That might weed out some possible note stuck on issues.

Also try an external USB keyboard as it may point to what might be a USB issue on your computer. This would be commonly a unique issue pointing to one's own system, or perhaps a particular instrument, or for that matter a driver.

Have you installed any recent harrdware that may have altered your settings, unknowingly? This can show up commonly with things like old mouse drivers for an older OS. That sort of thing.

It's an known issue no doubt about it. Whether it was made to function like it does or not, it's annoying and they need to fix it.

I see, so some notes actually are being caused to stick as mentioned like W.. etc. As mentioned. Well, I suspect again that is likely an in focus issue or perhaps I'm just not having it occur with me. Let's see how it pans out. Or sticks out.

What happen to that once again piggy backing post? Idk, I might have been seeing things. But it's sticking out like a sore thumb and it needs a little bit of attention.

Not the details some might be expecting, but hey. Whatever works. When the QWERTY keyboard is in focus, it works here. For others, they're getting stuck notes that lasts for years without being addressed.
Interesting.

That's how software works. When a window is in focus, it receives keyboard events. If other windows are in focus, they receive the key events.

Nothing to be "adressed". If you use the QWERTY keyboard, stay in the QWERTY window.

You must don't use the QWERTY keyboard often or haven't used it in other daws to know the workflow differences. When the QWERTY keyboard is not in focus while using Mai Tai, I can tweak the parameters and play without the notes getting stuck. As soon as I pull up a 3rd party vsti and try to do the same thing, the notes get stuck. Why shouldn't that be addressed? What that means for me is that if I was on the road, with just a laptop, no external midi controller, if I wanted to play a lead line and tweak parameters, I can't. You probably don't understand that coming from a place where you own over 3 keyboards. But being on the go alot, trust me, this is one of the main reasons why I started looking at other daws to produce on the go with. In FL, I get to tweak parameters while playing in a 4-5 octave range using the QWERTY. Just saying.

On V5.5 he QWERTY keyboard is seriously broken. I don't use it as I have several controllers but after this thread got going I decided to check it out. In focus or not, it was sticking notes for me everywhere. It does work normally now and then but then seems to go into stuck note mode often. Even with MaiTai as well and other VST's.
