Hi everyone, I have 3 variations where I switch from Omnisphere 3 to Arturia Mini V and vice versa. When I switch back and forth, I still hear the previous sound’s tail. So I have 2 issues:
when I switch variation, the previous sound gets cut, even if keep the note pressed
when go back to the previous variation after switching I still hear the previous sound’s tail.
The same issue occurs also with other plugins (e.g. Triton Extreme and Omnisphere 3). When I switch variation, the previous plugin is put in by-pass mode.
I have attached a simple rackspace where the issue occurs.
The issue with the tails happens due to one or more of those plugins not being designed to clear its audio buffer properly when the plugin goes into bypass. Sadly, that problem is a common one with certain manufacturers.
The way you have your rackspace designed, certain plugins go into bypass when you switch variations. That’s why the previous sound gets cut off when you switch. There are various methods you can use to remedy that issue (some involve scripting), but understand that would be the benefit of using separate rackspaces for each plugin combination (and the Patch Persist feature) instead of putting everything into one rackspace and using variations to switch sounds (while bypassing the others).
It is a better idea to Block NoteOn Messages instead of bypassing a plugin.
This way you can achieve the same as patch persist but in variations.
When you select the variation BLISS and hold down the notes and switch to variation Mini the held notes are not cut off, but as soon when you release the help keys the corresponding NoteOff messages are sent.
This way when you switch back from Mini to BLISS you should not hear any blips.
