When I activate my midi keyboard the Cues panel is flooded with active\_sensing messages. Is there some way to ignore or turn these off or at least suppress them so I don’t see them?

You can turn off the cues log in editor preferences, (use cue log) or put  
`use_cue_logging false`  
Inside a running program. You can’t stop cues arriving, but you can affect which ones you respond to depending upon the sync message you use.  
eg

`result = sync "/midi/*/*/1/note_on"`  
will only respond to a `note_on` midi message arriving from any connected device on channel 1. Other messages that may be present will be ignored.
