Midi keyboard and piano roll issues

Other

So issue 1, is with my keyboard. So i have 2 launchkey midi boards. Never had this issue before but, normally I use both at the same time. Both are plugged into my Scarlett 2i2.

I use one for lower octaves and the other for higher octaves so I can play with both hands. But now all the sudden the left keyboard plays softer than the right. When I play the same notes on each, one plays quiet and soft and the other plays normally.

Both keyboards do have the settings to play according to pressure, so the harder I press the key, the louder the sound but yeah. I also noticed with certain software instruments and plug ins, my left one won't play any sound at all but it will with other instruments. I even made sure they're in the same octaves.

issue two, is notes on piano roll refuse to line up correctly. For example let's say I use the pencil tool to input a whole note in the piano roll, the whole note should show up as starting on beat one measure one, and ending on beat 4, right where measure 2 begins.

But for some reason the note keeps overlapping over measure 2. Same thing with smaller notes, they over lap the grid line where it's supposed to stop, I tried quantization and it didnt work.

I also tried "trim note end to remove overlap" didnt do anything, and i changed the drag setting to "no over lap". Idk whats wrong with it. If i use my mouse to shorten it, then it falls short of the grid line, if I extend it, it goes over the grid line its supposed to land on.

I changed snap to bar, beat and division and nothing. Even smart. Only way to get it right is if I turn snap off and manually drag the notes length to where I want it. ​​​​
