NOTION Music Forum

I vaguely remember another forum member bringing this matter up some time ago, but I can't seem to find it in the threads (I'm probably using the wrong search terms)...

Anyway, I'm having an issue where repeated notes (that is, a note that repeats the same pitch as the note prior) does not sound for VSTi instruments (i.e. libraries other than GPO, Miroslav, EWQLSO, VSL).

I vaguely remember testing the problem before, but couldn't replicate the results. Now I have the problem using Kontakt. Has anyone else had the problem and/or found a work around?

*********** EDIT ************

After testing this a little bit more with other instruments, it seems that there is some overlap between notes. I'm assuming that this must be the cause of dropped repeated notes; that is, a note-off signal is given almost immediately after the second note-on signal is played (Kontakt must not correct for overlapping notes though I imagine other sample players may fix this on the fly). Can anyone from Notion or the community confirm this? Does anyone familiar with Kontakt player know of a way to automatically correct for overlapping notes?

OK, it must be note overlap. The problem is corrected when I adjust the note length manually (hitting tab and dragging the note length). I don't think there's a way to correct this in a rules file without the condition "note-before-same." A rule to correct dropped notes might look something like this:

<rule>
<if condition = "note-before-same"/>
<duration-change amount = .97"/>
</rule>

I've submitted this condition as a feature request here (viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1591)

I'd still be interested in a solution within Kontakt or LASS if anyone has one.
