Hey all, thanks so much for your willingness to help. I switched over to Vanilla and am not experiencing this problem any more. Extended was giving me so much grief - wouldn't let me use asio4all, would stop letting me move objects with the mouse in unlocked mode after a few minutes. None of these problems have appeared in Vanilla.

So, if any one out there is having a problem like mine, just go with vanilla install and get libraries as you need them (I've been advised to use deken for this).

Thanks again all!

?? thats not really helpful. im not looking for a hack workaround.

I'm running PD-0.43.4 extended on windows 7 32-bit.

So I set up my midi via midiyoke (i also tried loopmidi in case midiyoke was the prob, but no dice) to an external softsynth (tried vst and standalone), and went into the test midi window. I press the button to test midi, and PD triggers my softsynth, great.

Here's the issue - I flip the switch to turn the midi test note off, but no note-off gets sent out, so the note just holds and holds.

This problem persists if I try to use makenote object too.

Someone help! I was so excited about PD but now I'm ready to throw my computer against the wall ugh
