After Live 12.1 update the functions on my pigments are out of sync / behaving strangely.
If I have a simple function i.e. “init” (rampdown) it works fine. But if I select a complex one i.e “RHYTHMIC - 5” It won’t loop until the end and will not follow the drawing of the automation.
Also, sometimes effects like Delay and Unison remain on even if I turn them off and let the dry/wet at 0%.
I meant to capture this on a video but recording my DAW audio was a little harder than I imagined. Let me know if you’d like that and I’ll give it another try.
So, could you try uninstalling and reinstalling Pigments and in the process see if you can install a VST3 version as well as the VST2 version if thats all that was installed. If you can install both VST2 and 3, test again please.
I’ve tried reinstalling both from the Arturia Service Center and with a downloaded installer and did not see any improvement. I kept the VST2 but did not see anything different.
There is this screen recording with audio where you can see the issue happening.
Two werid things is that randomizing the function points and then reverting seem to fix the problem. Also, while using Zoom to capture the screen I noticed that just by using the ZoomAudioDevice to record ableton this issue would go away most of the time.
At any rate, I’m also in contact with support through ticket #1005553
@tiagoayresnunes .
Are you just holding a single note all the time in the video? Is that note on beat? The sync is based on when the note is triggered.
I don’t see the function retrigger with the kick, and you have set polyKBD as retrigger. The Function should start over at each keytrigger.
What happens if you trigger a new note on beat after you have changed pattern?
It’s only one long note on a midi clip playing nonstop. The issue happens until the 22 second mark on the video. There when I randomize the points and then undo this action the function synchrony returns to normal.
Retriggering the note while the issue is happening just retrigger the same out-of-synchrony incorrect pattern that was already playing before. “One”, “Loop” and “Free Running” options seem to give me exactly the same output.
Other than this and the FXs I also noticed that the modulations sometimes are active but not being shown on the user interface. E.g. I can see the modulation light move around but I don’t have the pizza-graph modulation amount to change. It also does not appear on the Matrix. The only way is to re-modulate the parameter and turning it off after.
All these multiple weird artefacts came into life after the 12.1 update so I am guessing these are related.
This is interesting. Perhaps it tell us, that something in the audio signal route give latency. But i have no idea how, if you have a standard soundcard setup in your DAW. But perhaps check the settings anyway.
I can’t replicate your issue here.
I suggests you contact Arturia support through your account, if you can’t find the cause.
