Analog Lab V switches to 'MONO' mode for some reason?

[ben1000]

Howdy… I’m having an issue with the Thriller Brass preset of the MJ Library from Arturia, played on Analog Lab V in Mainstage. If I hold the sustain pedal and play a few chords (ie, go over the normal polyphony)… it switches to ‘mono’ mode and will only play 1 note at a time. This now stays in mono mode until I open the plugin (I’m using Mainstage) and switch to another patch, and then switch back.

This DOESNT happen when I exceed polyphony by just playing too many keys… I can play tons of notes, and while it excceed polyphone, it comes back when I release and start again. It’s something to do with when I use the sustain pedal and repeat a large chord… Then it switches to mono mode and won’t switch back.

It also effects the same patch playing on another channel. Anyone seen this issue or have an idea on how to fix it? Thanks!

I have been disappointed with those MJ tribute libraries at some points because they don’t even sound like the original synth settings. I’ve been exploring Thriller sounds since I was 10 years old, and I actually started building a library of patches for Arturia instruments that closely resemble the original sounds. Even today, some sources that claim to know which synths were used have made mistakes. For example, the Thriller song bass was played on a Jupiter-8, not an ARP 2600, and the synth marimba was a Jupiter-4, not a Minimoog. If you’d like to know more about it, feel free to visit my website.

Sorry to hear you’ve been disappointed with some of the sounds. Often a similar synth timbre can be achieved with different instruments, so the libraries are “inspired” by these famous tracks, but of course, each sound designer may have a different interpretation or listening experience of those sounds. Rest assured all sounds go through rigorous testing and reference checking to get as close to the originals as possible, although leaving room for your own creative explorations.

Your Thriller remake is very good by the way!
