Default Distorion in MIDI

Hello Everyone,
I'm relatively new to Reaper and I'm thrilled with everything about it. I came from SONAR and it is a much more functional and well though out program. Very impressed.
I do have a question: Can anyone explain the following to me?
Everything is working fine. There is no distortion whatsoever from my buffer settings and the program handles huge amounts of plugins with ease. However, if I click on a MIDI clip to open it in a window, the level of distortion to playback of the entire track renders it un-listenable - and I don't mean that euphemistically. I mean that it's so distorted that I can't tell one instrument from another. I've tried looking this up in the manual and can find no reference to it. It's the only situation under which this occurs and the minute I close the MIDI window, it stops and everything is fine. I'm baffled. (I'm quite sure it's user error but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong). Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Midi cannot distort. Only audio can. Try turning down the volume at various points and see what happens.

Default Thank you

I didn't say that MIDI distorted. I said that when I opened a MIDI clip the playback distorted. Adjusting the volume was not related to the issue.

Thank you, RCJacH. That fixed my problem completely. Much appreciated.
