…note the loop on measures 36-41. If I play the notes in the loop they play correctly.
But also see that at Measure 35 I have an Expression Editor performing a pitchbend on one note, bending it upward. If I play the loop and then move the playback cursor to Measure 34 so it plays the expression-edited note, bending it upwards, when it gets to the loop the notes in the loop are now played at a higher pitch than they were before I introduced the Expression Editor. They don’t bend upwards - they just play steadily at a higher pitch. If I pause playback and resume they return to their correct pitch!
This seems like a bug. Is it? I expect the Note Expression to apply to that one note - not all the rest of the notes in my piece.
This example is from Halion, but I’ve observed this behavior on many different instruments. Also NB that if draw the curve to pitchbend down all the subsequent notes are pitched downward. Until I pause playback and they resume their correct pitch.
I’ve had this question up here for about a week now and it’s had quite a few views but no responses.
Could someone please address one aspect of it - is the Expression Editor expected to have downstream effects, i.e., continue to alter notes that follow later in the timeline, or not?
I try to reproduce it, but it works as expected on my side.
Do I understand you right, you play back the loop (bars 36-41). While playing back, you place the cursor on bar 35, so the playback jumps over to bar 35 and starts to play it back. Once the cursor reaches bar 36, the sound is pitched up.
If I only play the loop, 36-41, the notes have the correct pitch.
But if I start the playback at 35, so that the note with Expression Editor on it is played, then all the notes afterward, i.e., 36-41, are also pitched high. I thought the Expression Editor was only supposed to be applied to the selected note, i.e., the one on 35, not the ones later. What is the correct behaviour? How do I just edit the expression on one note?
It has exhibited this behavior with a wide variety of instruments, most of which were from Halion and Kontakt. How do I identify a multitimbral instrument? I’m using Cubase 11. Was this a known bug in that version?
