Title: More Bugs...
Post by: IndigoCesar on September 26, 2011, 03:28:42 am
Few more bugs I'd like to report.  These are found in official release 1.1.2

I'm using Spark as a plugin in Logic. The bugs are as follows:

1.  Drum sound (usually on pad 1) Stops playing.
     after a bit of investigating, I found its do to the following:

     a. Volume for that pad is turn all the way down.
     b. Pitch, decay, cuttoff, (basically all parameters) are randomly
         changed as well. This causes you to loose any "tweaks" you may
         have spent a lot of time getting just right. And there is no undo/redo function
         so no chance of recovering previous settings.

2.  Random notes triggered in a my sequence. They are not programmed in, yet a
     random note is playing. I cannot even remove the notes, as they are like ghosts.
     In this case its the crash on pad 12 in the DrumTrax kit. In other cases I've had notes
     get randomly programmed in, but these I can at least remove from the sequence
     because they were visible. this Is definitely a bug and makes the workflow come to a
     complete stop.  :-\

So many great things in spark. but to many bugs for my taste. Hope to get this resolved soon. I'm willing to help any way I can.

Can you give me some details. Nobody report something like that before.

Do you have some automation recorded inside Spark sequencer? This may be the cause of the problem. When you have an automation on a pattern tehn switch to another pattern without any automation, the parameter is reset to the last set value (when you move the knob without recording an automation).

Can you send me the Logic project? I wil investigate.

It could be automation Ill look into that, but I dont see why the volume will go down to zero.

Its not doing it all the time and on my current project its seemed to stop doing this.
but i did send you a video via email with a similar problem where random notes would be added to the sequence.  I'll send you a logic project if it occurs again.

Thanx
