i am having some trouble with my sts4000 sampler.i was exsperiencing notes
hanging and complete samples being played even though they were supossed to
be small notes trigered by my sequencer,plus i had samples disapearing and
being replaced by clicks and crackels.
so i downloaded the latest version of the sts4000,reinstalled it,removed
the old one from my project and replaced it with the new one.i now have a
new problem.all the information on my key group list has disapeared.i.e the
keygroup list is completly empty but all the samples still play!what could
this be?

Hanging notes could be:

1. Too much midi data being processed by your sequencer or sent to the Pulsar (this would be all 16 channels each with some CC data). Solution would be to thin out the CC data in your sequencer.

2. No note offs in your sequence. This happens sometimes when you're looping a part in your track, and some of the note off's aren't inside your loop points, and then your hardware (synths or pulsar) doesn't receive this note off, so the note keeps playing.

3. Bad MIDI cable. Unlikely, but it's happened to me before.

4. Virutal Pulsar MIDI drivers. I had this problem all the time at 1.2 and before, but have since then been using the Hardware Pulsar Midi port connected to my MIDI interface. I haven't had any problems with stuck notes since...

The "short notes in sequencer playing full samples in STS" sounds like it could be user error on your amplitude envelope settings in the STS.

Perhaps both were caused by a corrupted STS, it's hard to say from here.

Are you loading each program into the STS? All your programs do this, or only some of them? It could possibly be a corrupted sampler program. What format are your programs in?
