EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW, YESSS!!!

i keep using my external sound card, and stop using midi cable...

what i do not understand before, it is that the VMK 188+ do not need any midi connection!

well,i buy monster cable for nothing, but i feel so good that my "ghost note" finally disappear...

Michael: merci beaucoup

ok! here is what i do:
1) i exchange the usb cable
2)as i do not use any more my k2500: i do not need my old Behringer XENYX 802 (and it seem there was few little electric troubles) so i go now straight in my amplification,
3)i must admit that all my audio cables are almost new, but not the best quality (it was ok before, but not for use with midi and computer, and a external sound card)
and with latency, no problem

thank you for help

imyself,

That's good! You might also like to examine your latency settings. Perhaps you need a shorter latency setting with your Alesis io Express.

You can use USB instead of a midi cable with the VMK188plus. Perhaps this will help you.

ok! i do not try this yet... and this is it !!!

i take off my Alesis io2 express and every thing is fine now...
but what does it mean?
is my external sound card not good?
because, before (as a reverb) alésis was very knows for quality product and it seem that it is not same thing for external sound card right?

but in this way, i only use my little (but not too bad) altec lansing output...

do you think i may do something to fix my external soundcard ?

thank you a lot for your advice Michael, you finally found it

An easy way to see if it's your midi cables, now that you have a VMK188plus would be to hook up a USB cable and use that for your midi input. If all is solved then it's almost definitely the midi equipment you're currently using. If not, then you're back to square one. Good luck.

After what you have explained it is clearly your midi interface somehow.
Could be a bad connection in the midi input connector since it got better exchanging the cable but then got bad again.
If a new cable doen't help it's your midi interface.

i wish you are wrong... (but truth is: i am afraid you are right)

Is there an arpeggiator in the kurz?
If so check if it is switched on or sending midi clock signals or alike. Maybe remote transport function or something similar. If you don't know your keyboard very well and you have no personal patch or preset I'd suggest to try a hard reset of the thing
