MIDI Notes freeze

I have a problem that has been recurring a lot.
When I play with my MIDI keyboard (Roland A-37) after a while the notes just get frozen. You can't play any new notes and if you remove the plugin you were using and try with a new plugin, it will still make no sound.
The only solution is to restart buzz to be able to play again.

I haven't yet checked what happens in MIDI-OX. Maybe there I could at least see if the keyboard still sends MIDI or not.
I use a probably not so good MIDI2USB cable and windows Vista 32 with PVSTI.

this isn't exactly a fix, but have you tried selecting a different driver in prefs, hitting apply, then switching back? if it works it would still be annoying, but at least you wouldn't have to restart buzz.

I haven't tried that, but I will try next time it happens. If it works it will be good enough. 8-)

Tried now, unfortunately it didn't work.
Also On PVSTI you can mute notes, but you can't play anything on the keyboard after that.
Tried starting MIDIox to monitor the MIDI stream did not work because not enough MIDI memory or something. I should try starting MIDIox first then buzz then I might be able to monitor while buzz is running.

I turned of midiclock on my keyboard. It hasn't frozen since. Hopefully it never will again.

I also figured out why buzz had a little bit worse performance on new notes. It was because I reset the powermanagent plan.
So the high performance(?) option is best for buzz.
