I wanted to share my experience with the Multiriffs feature in the 2022 package. Full disclosure: I have a tech support ticket open for a resolution but wondered if others had comments or workarounds.

Relying on the latest YouTube tutorial, I tried to generate unique solo performances over discrete 8 bar passages. I succeeded in doing so until I was onto my 3rd set of 8 bars when the software gave up and wouldn't generate additional performances. In fact, it simply gave up mid performance.

Tech supplied me with a new Build (905 to Build 906) as if they were aware of the problem but that proved futile and actually made my situation worse: the feature wouldn’t generate anything with that build. It simply replayed the performance that was residing on the track and hitting the regeneration button served to only play that one performance.

I also did a factory reset as recommended by PG Music staff. Thoughts from anyone here? I suspect I have to wait for PGMusic to iron out the glitches.

GT, so i tested this to see if i could confirm but mine played perfectly. i generated at least 3 versions of the riff on three sections of 8 bars jazz guitar, then trumpet, then sax. as far as i can tell it was close to perfect. could you list the style you used.

I was auditioning John Herington's Guitar, Electric, Soloist JazzRock16thsJon Ev16 090 (#2603). I then tried another by Brent but got the same glitch so I am not so sure it is the file source.

I nearly regret installing the Build 906 because now it wont audition any performance.

Is the Multiriffs function only suitable for solo?

Update: PG responded to my inquiry with a 908 Build. I have yet to install and see if this is the holy grail but deeply impressed with how responsive they are on the customer service side of things.
