Serious issue: VST live ignores transpose configuration (for one layer / for others it works fine)

Dear VST Live-Team,

By using VST live (i love it!) I found a bug which is from my point of view really critical and causes a serious problem.

I configured a song in VST live with multiple instruments (layer). All instruments have a transpose setting (+2) and this configuration is correctly shown in the screen within VST LIVE.

But if I play the sounds on the keyboard I can hear that VST LIVE seems to ignore for 1 sound the transpose settings. But from configuration point this should / could not be the case.

Last time when I opened this song in VST Live this issue was not existing and the sound was correctly produced by VST LIVE. This makes me really nervous because I have multiple selected songs in which this strange changes happend.

I already created a video which easiy shows that VST live is not correctly processing all transpose settings. For 1 layer the mentioned octave shift settings are not used. For other layer with exactle the same config they are used.

It is definitive documented that VST live ignores the octave setting (software bug)

But I would also like to know how can this happen?

To make the analysis of this issues easier I created the following video which shows you the screen configuration (screenshots) and let you hear what I mean with ignorerd configuration / incorrect sound creation:

You would do me a great favour, if you please could help to analyze this topic.
Please ignore all my other tickets. This topic is really hot and could blame me and my band on a gig if it would happen in a live show.

Again many thanks for your great work for this great product I really love!

Kind regards

Sam

This issue was extacted from an ticket in which i documented different issues which happend in a workflow sequence which caused different issues (bugs) in the same workflow. To simplify the topic I extracted the single issues into single tickets.

Link to copy of my “private” VST LIVE project file was provided to Spork on 26th of Feb. 2026 at um 22:13 (CET central european time) via email.

2 potential topics are not relevant:

As you can see in the video and example project file (provided to Spork) the topics pitchbend is to “blocked”

and global transpose is not used

Therefor I assume that we have a real software bug and not configuration issue.
