Voice amount and soft limit don't work when group XFades are enabled
-
@Christoph-Hart as soon as group XFades are enabled in a Sampler, voice amount and soft limit on that sampler are ignored.
-
@tomekslesicki
Yep noticed this too. I think it's intentional. Because I believe voices are used in order to do crossfades (playing two overlapping voices at the fade point) so it's increasing the voices again so that it has enough available.I agree though, that it should probably have a mode to respect the original limit.
-
@griffinboy yes, I understand this logic, but then wouldn't it make more sense if we could set the limit with respect to the groups used? So if I have 6 round robins, I would have to set the voice limit in multiples of 6 so that all notes can be played correctly. Sticking to this example of 6 round robins per voice, if I wanted, say, a monophonic behaviour, I would set the voice limit to 12 and soft limit to 6.

Yep I agreed with you. I think the current system doesn't handle it in an ideal way. -
@Christoph-Hart would it be possible to fix this please?
-
@Christoph-Hart it would be great if the voice management would work with group xfades :-)
-
@tomekslesicki Can you make a example project that demonstrates the issue?
-
@Christoph-Hart it's very easy to reproduce, actually:
- add a sampler, load two samples in, and set each to a different RR group - sample 1 goes to group 1, sample 2 goes to group 2. You can streatch them out so that both cover the same key range.
- enable group xfade
- set the voice limit to 4 and soft limit to two
- bang on as many notes on the keyboard as you wish - the limit logic won't work
