Prophet 5 Sustained note on Mainstage 3
« on: May 24, 2014, 09:29:50 pm »
Hi.

As I saw on other topics (2012...), there's still an issue about the sustained note on Prophet 5... I bough this product today and I'm very disappointed because this problem hasn't been solved since. Please fix this problem!

Re: Case 165861
Hi Emmanuel,

This is now a referenced bug, Bug Ticket : 110823

The current workaround is to push the sustain pedal before the start of the Key.

I sent this problem to the appropriate developer, know that a newer version will come in some time to solve this issue.

You will be contacted at that time to download.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

Feel free to come back to me if still any problem or misunderstanding.
Yours cordially,

David.

Yep… I just got bit by the bug too. I changed out my USB MIDI controller and was going though my setups to make the necessary changes in MainStage 3 and I have big issues with the sustain pedal in Prophet V as well. My MIDI controller has reversed polarity so when I switched the polarity, the sustain at least didn't stay on all the time but I have the same maddening issue with it as others.

An alternate workaround to Arturia's is to create a Midi FX filter in Scripter that handles incoming note on and note off messages and looks to see if the pedal is depressed then sends the note offs to the Prophet 5. Thank god for scripter!

Hé les gars d'Arturia, c'est bien d'innover et de proposer plein de nouveaux produits, vous trouvez cela sûrement plus intéressant que de corriger les vieux bugs de vos premiers produits !
Mais pensez-vous qu'après avoir acheter la V Collection et subit des bugs aussi gros que celui-ci (et il y en a d'autres tout aussi gênant), on va continuer à acheter vos dernières réalisations ?
Peut-être qu'aujourd'hui ça marche parceque vous êtes pas si vieux et que vous faites un matraquage publicitaire intense, mais dans les années qui viennent je pense que vous finirez par nous faire fuire !!!

Alors, s'il vous plaît, pour le bien de tous, corrigez nous ces pauvres bugs à 2 balles,
Merci,
Emmanuel

PS: I wrote we won't buy the new products if the old ones don't work...

FWIW, I built a MidiFX plugin to work around the problem until it gets fixed. Below is my script you can feel free to copy and paste into your Midi Scripter and save in LogicX/Mainstage 3 until Arturia fixes the bug.

The workaround basically intercepts the sustain pedal sends and tracks which notes you're playing and does not transmit the noteOff messages until you release the pedal. Depending on the patch you're using you may need to tweak your release values to get the desired effect. The only value you really need to tweak is the topmost variable where you specify your sustain polarity value. It'll either be 0 or 127. 127 is normal polarity for a sustain pedal that is depressed. Hope this helps some of you.

Sustain Fixer MidiFX - v 1.0

Feel free to use this script as a work around for your Arturia V-Synths that do not obey
proper sustain pedal inputs in Mainstage 3 until Arturia fixes their V-synths to work correctly.

This script is provided AS IS with no guarantee that it will work for your particular situation.
If you rig starts spewing stuck notes out in the middle of a set, I am not responsible!

I've noticed with this script that the "note stealing" the Prophet VS does can sometimes freak
out and you start hearing popping noises from the V-Synth's channel until you go into the UI of
the Prophet VS and reset the voice number for the patch. This script could be expanded to
only allow it to store the required number of notes for your polyphony settings in your Arturia
V-Synth but I didn't do so to prevent the script from being too complex, and because I didn't
need it in my particular case.

This script may not be repackaged or sold without my consent. It is free for your use in your
setup as you see fit. Hope this helps some of you out there.

Thank you very much Codevyper. Unfortunatly, I'm on Logic Pro 9, and I can't find a way to execute your beautiful script  :-[
Did some lucky Logic Pro X owners manage to make it work ? Should I pay 180$ for Logic Pro X just because Arturia doesn't want to fix a such big bug ?
