A new note plays on note off, similar to stuck keys

Bugs
#1

I love Vital, but I’ve had an issue with it from the start which I had hoped would be addressed in an update, but I’m using 1.5.5 and I haven’t seen updates in quite a while.

The issue seems to be if two keys are pressed very closely to each other in time. Then every time you press another note, as you release the key, another note sounds. It’s quite a weird doubling up effect.

I’ve experienced the issue with downloaded presets and presets I’ve made. They all play fine at the start, but then sometimes this behavior will appear. Pressing notes until you find the one will fix it, but it’s a massive flow killer when you’re trying to create a melody for example.

I thought it was just in Cubase at first, but then I started using Ableton Live as well and it also happens with that. It doesn’t happen with any of my other synths.

Is this already being looked at?

Thanks :slight_smile:

VST2, VST3, AU or CLAP?

If one, try another.

#3

I had intended to include that, but completely forgot.

Using VST3. I can try installing VST2 for troubleshooting, but it won’t be an option going forward as I use Cubase and where possible have removed all VST2 plugins. OS is Win10. Clap isn’t supported by either DAW yet from my understanding.

I’ve had stuck midi notes myself. Good if you can see if the VST2 does it.

Somehow I don’t remember having those with sequencer playback, only when playing live.

#5

I’ve never had it sequenced, but only live too. I’ll install VST2 shortly and let you know how it goes.

For some reason the VST2 version wouldn’t show up in Cubase after a reinstall with it. Not sure if there is a clashing ID, or something.

But it’s definitely a Vital bug and definitely occurs in VST3.

I’ve migrated to a new DAW, from Intel to AMD, from Windows 10 to Windows 11, using a different MIDI controller, so everything around it has been replaced and it’s presenting on mutlple DAWs, from Cubase, to Live, etc.

It unfortunately makes it terrible to play, even though I like Vital.

None of my other synths do this.

I will see if I can trigger it via sequencing. I don’t recall if I did that test, or not, but I’ll revisit it to be sure.

It occurs when two notes are triggered in a very short time. Like if you accidentally pressed a neighbouring key when just noodling and freestyling though, so you would be less likely to sequence something like that.
