BUG: Ableton's Chord Plugin...

Post by 57R34K » Tue Aug 20, 2019 12:04 pm

Good morning all,

I keep experiencing an issue where I'm using Ableton's chord plugin to play chords with a single keystroke yet only one note in the chord rings out. It happens about every 1 out of 8 tries. The other 7 tries has the full chord sound.

What I'm doing is I have a polyphonic synth pad as a sound in an instrument rack, then I have a midi rack with three chains of the chord plugin. Each chain is mapped to a single note on the midi keyboard within the midi rack and each chain is a different chord depending on the note. For example:

Within the Midi rack:

Bb is mapped to my major 3rd inversion chord chain
G and D are mapped to the minor chord chain
F is mapped to the major chord chain

Sometimes the full chord rings out when I press the appropriate key, and sometimes it's only a single note. Does anyone know why? It's awful when you jump from a full sound to an empty single note sound mid song...

Isn't it because your midi instrument's polyphony is set to low? Or about the "voice retriggering"? Or both?

I don't think so, but I will take a look at that. I have 3 different instruments layered together on different tracks and they all flow through their own midi rack with the chords and such. It isn't just one instrument that is affected when I encounter only one note ringing out instead of the full chord. All 3 instruments behave the same way at the same time when one note rings out. They all 3 lose the chord.

One of the instruments is a piano which is why I said I don't think so, but I will check that out after work today.
