Hi, I've found that the following realtracks:

#1040 -Organ, B3, Rhythm JazzBallad Sw 060 ('A' only)
#1041 Organ, B3, Rhythm JazzBallad Sw 060 ('B' only)

plays A and B parts despite their names. The same happens with other similar realtracks, like #1046, #1047, #1049 and #1050.

Maybe others can replicate the problem. I'm up to date.

Hi Cerio,

I did a quick test on those two and got the same results as you. I'm up to date as well.

Does this mean the "old" update has been updated without reassigning the number?

I don't think so.

I think it means that there are some out there that did not update, or perhaps got it corrupted.

That's because I'm still running the update from first day of release here.

I think that is correct. This is just my opinion but I don't believe they change the patch number unless the exe file is updated...if some of the ancillary files have minor updates they don't always roll the number. I had the original 349 patch installed and it had the problem. When I downloaded the new 349 patch the per Andrew's post the problem was fixed.

The old build #349 from mid-December is about 38 MB. The new build #349 is about 50 MB.

It would appear that the "old" update has been updated without reassigning the number.

I wish they wouldn't do that.

They could at least append the version number such that a change might be identified, such as, "Build 349b" or something...

Mac, I agree with you...PG Music should at least add a 349b, 349c etc. when a build changes. The current method can add to confusion and wasting of time when trying to duplicate problems folks are encountering if we both think we have the same patch but maybe it's not.

That's a good point... we'll rename it 'b'.

Updated April 11, 2012
Updated: Some 'A-only', 'B-only', and 'Bluesy' RealTracks instruments weren't playing the correct variation.
Updated: Some simple bass ST2 files showed as missing, even though the parent 'regular' bass ST2 was present.
Updated: StylePicker improvements.
Updated: Fixes for minor miscellaneous RealTracks issues reported since Feb 1 2012.


Now that is indeed cool

In my view, this means that there are some update, or perhaps it is damaged.
