Rendering a whole step flat!?

Post by mpacheco » Thu Oct 13, 2011 4:58 am

Hey guys,

I just finished a track and rendered it and my Arturia Minimoog softsynth bassline rendered a whole step flat for some reason. This is the second time this has happened (I believe it was a different softsynth before). This happen to anyone else? Sooooo weird.

changing sample rate from 48 to 44.1?
or if just this track, maybe there was a stray pitch bend at the start of the track?

Just the bass track, everything else is in pitch, and the bass track consistently plays back within Ableton from the correct pitch. Weird, right?

It gets weirder..

Just tried rendering the track again after adding +2 midi pitch to the bass track and although it's in key now, it sounds as though the pitch is being slightly modulated by an lfo or something.... wth is going on?

Well I unloaded the Minimoog softsynth and loaded an Ableton Suite synth and it rendered just fine.. then reloaded the Minimoog and once again it's a whole step flat.

Something wrong with rendering the Minimoog, I guess? Anyone else out there with the Arturia Minimoog V plugin seeing this?

did you try other moog patches/presets?
maybe something in this particular pach is fckued up
maybe some really low freq lfo assigned to pitch, other than that i cant think of any thing else

Hunted down some threads on Arturia's site and after a bit of digging and experimenting of my own I figure out it's a bug with the Minimoog V v1.6 audiounit. All other softsynths were working fine, so I tried the Minimoog V VST instead of the AU and now it's working great (the VST, that is... the AU is still wonky).

Arturia needs better QA engineers. How did they miss this?
