MIDI glitch sound like a bad heart monitor?

Soooo, I am having this bizarre issue: every time I mess with the octave shift on a certain patch, the output sounds eerily like a flat-lining EKG. Not kidding a friend of mine literally thought I was simulating a bad heart monitor. It is like the pitch bends into static, then resets almost musical chaos? But kinda creepy.

I honestly don’t know if it’s a bug, some weird interaction with my audio driver, or just plain madness on my end. I tried restarting the host (Logic Pro X) and even updated the MIDI driver, but nope still glitchy. If I toggle back to default, the band plays fine, but tweak the octave slider and BOOM pulse-rate mayhem.

What’s wild is that I’ve been sneak-studying nursing stuff in tiny gaps between tracking sessions (grace of a looming nursing assignment help deadline, no shame). And the irony isn’t lost on me: here I am panicking over a technical bug when I should be reading up on infection control protocols. But hey, creative cross-training?

Anyway, figured I’d post here before losing my mind. Anyone seen something like this? Maybe a weird aliasing thing or sample rate mismatch? Or maybe it’s truly haunted wouldn’t put it past my laptop to be possessed. If someone has a workaround or at least a sanity check, I’d be mega grateful.

Also if anyone’s tried weird things like lowering buffer size or switching sample formats (I’m at 24-bit/48k), drop the details I am down to try anything short of reinstalling the whole OS.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the ramble it’s one of those coffee-fueled 2 AM debugging spirals. Peace, and may your chords never flat-line!

Wow, that sounds wild! Might be a sample rate or aliasing issue—try adjusting buffer size or switching between 44.1k and 48k. Also, love the accidental ‘EKG music’ vibe!

That sounds crazy! There may be a problem with aliasing or sample rate; try changing the buffer size or going from 44.1k to 48k.
