Mono Legato Retrigger Problem

Started by kelelee

Hi Xfer Forum and Steve, I’ve been testing the demo version of serum.

I came across a problem, which would be quite critical for my productions, an explanation is highly appreciated.

When I use a Synth in Mono Legato Mode to add portamento to my notes, I want the notes to retrigger the oscillator everytime UNLESS I use a legato note, meaning I press a note while another note is already playing, in which case the already playing waveform is allowed continue to run, otherwise no portamento effect would be achieved.

If Serum is operating in Mono Legato Portamento mode and I just continuously play for example quarter notes of the same pitch (lets say F1) placed neatly on the grid one after another without overlapping legato notes, the oscillator should retrigger everytime (if I set the Initial Phase and random phase knobs all the way to zero).

But this is not happening; as soon as Serum is working in Mono mode, continuously playing for example quarter notes of the same pitch results in the oscillator free running and not retriggering.

Am I doing something wrong or is this feature not implemented in Serum?

If you want to test this with a Synth that has implemented it, you can see a working example in Sylenth1.

Let me know if you need more information (like images or a video of the scenario described)

cheers
