Title: 1.5 instrument layers in stack mode distortion
Post by: beanyles on October 11, 2012, 02:32:48 am

Hi, when I load more than 2 instrument layers in stack mode one of the layers distorts or wont play at all, im not using the choke feature and i dont know what else could be wrong, might be a bug or just me. Anyone else having this problem???

Hi,
can you send me some audio examples?

Here is an example, I placed a kick drum on layers 1 and 2 using stack mode, they play just fine, but when i load a sample on layer 3, layer 2 breaks down. layers 1 and 3 play fine. In the example I drop the gain on layers 1 and 3 so you can hear just layer 2. Loading all 6 layers also produces the same effect but on multiple layers.

ok,
can you give me some details about your setup (OS, DAW...)?
Can you also send me the samples you are using?

Thanks
Kevin

Intel Core2Quad machine running windows 7, 64bit, 8gb ram, velociraptor hard drive for the OS and a separate 7200rpm drive for the audio samples. The samples are 24bit 44,000. The audio card is an M-audio delta 1010LT. I noticed the bug on stand alone mode, I will check if running as a vst causes the same problem.

I managed to reproduce the issue.
Currently trying to understand what's wrong.

Sorry for the late reply.
We have been quiet busy these days.
We may have an hotfix for this bug soon.

Hi beanyles,
sorry for the delay,
we have currently a lack of resources for testing the version.
If you want, I can send you the beta version and you will tell me if this solves the problem.

Hi beany,
I am very sorry for the very long delay.
I should upload the beta very soon.
I have been very busy with SparkLE these days, sorry again.

Yes, I figured the SparkLE release would only delay a Spark update....

That's true but if the sales of SparkLE are good, it will be good for future update of both :)
