Samples in vst not cutted probably in Dorico

Dorico

The vst works well in Cubase 13, but in Dorico the sample didn’t stop when the note ends.


The vst developer replied that it was because Dorico didn’t render it correctly, and they don’t know how to deal with that.

If you watch the shadows on the notes on the on-screen keyboard in the VSTi window as Dorico plays the notes, you can see that it does release that tremolo note exactly when it should (the shadow disappears). For some reason the VSTi is not responding correctly and releasing the note when the note-off message arrives, so the problem is almost certainly with the VSTi itself.

You can also see that Dorico is changing the keyswitch back to the ordinario keyswitch at the same moment that it lets go of the tremolo key. My guess is that the VST instrument has some bug where it will continue to incorrectly play a tremolo note if the keyswitch is changed to something other than tremolo at the same instant a note-off comes in for the tremolo note.

In Cubase this probably would not happen, because if you are controlling the keyswitches yourself, you would be unlikely to have a keyswitch back to ordinario at the exact same moment that a tremolo note ended.

The timing of the two events may have to be incredibly precise to reproduce this issue, so even though it may also happen in all DAWs, it may be so rare that it has gone unreported, or if the user figured out what was going wrong, they may have just manually moved the keyswitch a bit earlier or later to avoid triggering the issue.

Hi mducharme
Thanks for your detailed reply. I will try to talk further with the vsti developers to resolve this issue.

I’m glad to have your praise :smiley:

Hi mducharme,
I have solved the issue by mapping the keyswitch to playing techniques or ornaments rather than repeats.
According to my test, both of them are OK.
Also, “tremolo” mapping is normal in BBCSO, so it’s hard to say whether the problem is in Dorico or VSTi
