What happens to be the bug?
If you disable the "R" button on a Simpler the sample will not be cut off once a new note is played, but it can fade out its full release time as long as the set number of voices is not reached. But putting/deleting any plugin onto other tracks/pads (if you use a Drum Rack) or by putting an effect on the same track as the Simpler the sound of this release gets filtered randomly but may return to the original sound after a random length of time. By enabling/re-disabling R or changing the number of voices the sound will immediatly return to its original state.
You can test this your own:
- Drag the "Mallets" preset named "Pling" onto a Midi track.
- Create a Midi clip and draw a single note on C3, shorten the loop length of that clip to only play that single note in a loop. And start the clip.
- Go to the Simpler settings, turn Release all the way up to 60s and disable the R button. You will hear a short modulation which after a few seconds settles into a new sound. (To make that more synthish put a Saturator with Sinus Fold type and enabled Color behind that. By mingling with the settings of the Simpler and Saturator you can produce great ear-deafening noise!
).- Now put any other plugin on another track and see how the sound of the Simpler track starts to modulate. After something between 5 and 60 seconds it will somewhat return to its original state (though I think it remains slightly altered).
- Delete the track again to modulate it again.
- Change the number of voices or enable/re-disable the R button on the original Simpler to return to the original sound.
PS: Geez, I got some synthish and some very screaming noise out of Simpler, there so many nice knobs to turn to completely alter the sound.
Maybe you can try to reconstruct this on your computer? I'm still fairly new to Live so I might miss something here!?
