### Bug Description I experience that Midi note off from external is not captured anymore after updating to 1.0.2, which means that I cannot use Tracker Plus as my main sequencer currently as I like to play my notes live from my fav midi keyboard. ### Reproduction Steps 1. Go to record mode 2. Hit some notes… 3. Only the note, but without the note-off, so the note will then just be hanging. ### Occurrence bug is reproducible always ### Found in _go to Config \> Firmware page on your device and copy version / build numbers below_ - **Version** : 1.0.2 - **Build** : [example 345] ### Attachments [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3S4G4mLr4Rk/maxresdefault.jpg "Polyend Tracker Plus - Note off not recorded") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S4G4mLr4Rk) ---

Hey @gravedraq looks like you are experiencing this? > [@OFF messages are not placed correctly during Live-Recording when Recording Options is set to Only Notes](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/off-messages-are-not-placed-correctly-during-live-recording/14180): > > Bug Description When General → Recording Options is set to Only Notes the OFF message is not placed when releasing the pads (or only sometimes). This causes follow up notes to be placed in the next adjacent columns. This affects all the instrument types (Samples, Synths & MIDI) Correct behaviour would be that when you release a pad, that OFF message is placed.information_source Workaround for now: You can circumvent this behaviour by setting the Recording Options to Microtiming or Microt… If so, i’ll merge your bug report with the existing one. Let me know ✌ ---

Could be, I did some further test. Test one - roll from 1.0.2 and back to 1.0.1: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/96bZyAE-8bk/hqdefault.jpg "From 1.0.2 to 1.0.1") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96bZyAE-8bk) Test two - roll from 1.0.1 and back to 1.0.2: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/XMgx78owL_U/maxresdefault.jpg "Back From 1.0.1 to 1.0.2") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMgx78owL_U) ---

yeah this seems to be the same issue. I have tested it with the pads and with an external controller. the behaviour is the same. Could you do me a favor and post your videos in the other bug report (as it has already been logged)? This way we have all the information in one place. And then we’ll close this one down. By the way - there is a workaround for now, which i posted in the other bug report as well. ---

Thank you so much!
