Percussion tremolo

This…

Seems to have no effect on percussion using Noteperformer. Is this by design? Or am I missing something? No matter the setting the tremolo on a percussion instrument under a fermata always slows to a ridiculous degree. The standard practice according to performers I know is to maintain a constant roll speed regardless of tempo or how long the note is held.

Hi @clancyweeks, I cannot reproduce your issue. Here is how it plays back on my system (NP and factory Playback Options):

For more details see page 39 of the NP manual (which looks already as you show in your screenshot):

The problem is, no matter the settings I use, I always get the slow, rhythmic tremolo in playback. And it’s not just on one file.

And the weirdness continues… Opening your file, and it plays correctly. I checked all your settings, and they seem identical to mine; however, when I play mine with yours still loaded, mine now performs as expected. I have no clue how this is possible, but I’ll try again after closing your file to see if it sticks.

So far, so good. I’m marking your response as the solution even though the “solution” amounted to “load my file and it will fix your problem.” :rofl:
