I have already posted this in a couple of other places more appropriate like Kontakt (NI) but I haven't had any response yet, so I thought I'd try here...


Ok I am pretty green when it comes to all the technical stuff for VST’s etc, and so I’d like to describe the problem I’m having and see if anyone can help as it seems like it's probably something very obvious to someone that knows what they are doing... smile

I am using the Accordion sound from the World sounds (I believe, as I’m at work not home) and using Jam Origins Midi Guitar software to trigger it. I do not believe that this is a cause of the problem as when I use my Axiom 61 KB I get the same effect, but I wanted to give all the info.

So what is happening is that when I play and hold the notes play fine, however there is NO decay of the notes, until they stop…no trail off as a natural sounding instrument would have. So it’s making the playing of certain pieces and styles difficult.

I have gone in and played with every setting in the Envelope and other areas I can find, with little or no effective change.

So I had to record my part and go into the Midi editor of my DAW (Samplitude Pro) and manually set the volume levels and create a fade for certain parts that I wanted.

However I find it hard to believe that this is not possible in the VST itself, so any assistance would be appreciated.

Also note this is not the only instrument that seems to have this problem, even some of the default ones in my DAW did this too...So I suspect it's some sort of global setting, BUT not knowing enough about all this stuff, I wouldn't know where to begin to look.

Thanks...
