Hi im new to the forum so please be gentle with me ..
I am a total novice with synthesizers but love the sound of them and was looking for a dynth to add to my recordings. Im totally a hobbiyist and im new to the entire DAW thing so im trying to learn midi and such too. Being a simple guitarist im finding it a challenge!
Anyhow, after much research i settled on Diva as my first choice of synth and purchased a copy - i love it!
However when i actually record a midi track into my DAW (Sonar X3) the recorded track seems to be transposed by a tone and i cant for the life of me find the cause ( ive checked Sonars midi transpose function and its not that) as it doesnt happen with any other synth or VST Instrument that i use.
Im probably just being a newbie but could anyone suggest what the issue may be? I love the synth and at present cant use it in my humble recordings ( probably due to incompetance)
Oh and Hi to the Forum

Hi, and welcome

Might be an unwanted "MidiLearn"... Go to the Main / Tuning panel, right-click on the 'Transpose ' value and select MidiUnLearn. Do the same for the Fine Tune knob. Fixed?

Hi Howard thanks for the swift reply.
I tried both your suggestions and it still has the same problem. When the VST is first opened it is at the correct pitch - as soon as i record a midi track and play it through diva it transposes it down a tone - a Dmin triad is now a C min triad ( notes C d# G ). I cant explain it!!! If it transposedcall the notes down a tone it would surely be a Cmaj triad or at least the notes C E G. So its actually transposing the chord and not the notes. Id be tempted to look at Sonar asbthe culprit, except as i say, it only happens on Diva and none of my other synths. Its driving me mad!!!

Oh and if i trigger another synth with the same midi track it plays in the correct pitch. Gahhh!!!!!!!

I think ive sorted it!! It was pretty much what you said, except for the cutoff and resonance - i think i mapped it to the mod wheel of my controller and a knob so i could do filter sweeps etc in realtime. Why that affected pitch i really dont know but hey ho, it seems to have remedied the problem for now

In the inspector on your midi track, in the midi tab, turn off the "snap to scale" button.

Hope this helps!

This sounds a lot like the "Sonar incorrectly sets VST3 Pitch Wheel on Transport reset" bug (in Sonar) that's been around for a long time. Are you by any chance using the VST3 version?
Use the VST2 instead.
