    Hi DG. There's no midi file to send. I'm just playing live through Digital Performer 5 on a Mac G5. OSX Tiger. It's happening across the board with any preset that has portamento in it. I've got the solo strings and the Orch strings. Happens on both. BTW, what's a .fxb file?

    And I'm pretty sure it wasn't that way when I first got the library. Could I have changed some global setting without knowing it?

    I don't mean to be unhelpful, but unless I can see what you are doing I can't tell what the problem is. Please record a MIDI file that doesn't play properly, and tell me what patch you used, so that I can load it up on my system to see if there is an errant controller somewhere.

    I created a SMF but can't find any way on this forum to upload the file. How do I do that? Also, what is an .fxb file?

     I really need to get this solved quickly. It seems like there's a global setting that got changed.

    I don't know that the midi file is going to be much help but I'll upload it as soon as I figure out how to do that. Is there a button for uploading that I just can't see? I'm on a Mac using Safari and Firefox.

    No, you just have to host it somewhere. DG

    This might sound dumb, but how do I host it? Also, please explain what a .fxb file is. Thanks.

    By "check your email" I'm assuming you mean the forum inbox. Nothing there. No email coming to my email address either except the notification of a new post.

    Never mind. Your email just arrived. I'll get the file to you later today.

    Was this ever solved?  I'm seeing the exact same behavior as described earlier.  I have to hold one note, then press another note (while holding the first) then when I release the 2nd note, I get a Portamento (slide) back to the first note.  Nothing else seems to trigger the Portamento making it useless for composition.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
