The culprit seems to be the AWE64G sound card. See, I use the MIDI ports to connect the XP30 to. And when I record a MIDI track to Cakewalk, some parts of the track get cut off and NOT recorded. There r also weird random patch changes and transposing and stuck notes all over the recorded track. Note I disabled the MIDI echo function, and this still happens.

Anybody also use the AWE64G? How can I solve this problem?

ALso, I would like to know if there r other XP30 users out there who noticed any misaligned keys in their XP30's. It seems that on ALL octaves, the gaps between F&G, and A&B seems a little bit too wide, while the ones between G&A r too close(the gap is kinda wedge-shaped, with the keys pulling inwards). This happens in every octave. The synth plays fine, thought at times the G and A keys scrub against each other. I want to know if this is a factory defect, or normal for all XP30's. I'm also wondering if the other XP's have this "deformity".

Thanks.
