Sustained notes not being picked up

Post by kidahl » Sun Oct 12, 2014 4:00 pm

Hi, congratulations with the new forum!

I have a small but quite nagging bug: Sustained notes are not picked up by the system properly (but the sound still plays).
This prevents me from ever getting a full score and is quite annoying.
I just started intermediate with chords, and the the bug is even more pronounced here. I cannot keep one chord over to the next section without at least one note being lost.

Do you have any plans to fix this in the near future?

I use the Roland A-49 keyboard.
Thanks

Hey Kidahl,

It's not just you, we've had a few users run into this. It's definitely planned for 1.6. Here is the ticket for it:

http://jira.playgroundsessions.com:8080/browse/PG-227

Take care!

Hi Sean and team,

I've been very impressed with my evaluation of Playground Sessions so far, so great job all round, but I have to agree with kidahl's comments above that this issue with tied/sustained notes not always being picked up is extremely frustrating and is beginning to impact my enjoyment of the product.

I see that you're targeting v1.6 for the fix. Do you have a planned release date yet?

Thanks.

I'm having the same trouble. Tied notes are not recognized. Also, I have to restart the program probably around 10 times before I can actually hear the count in which makes practicing and getting 100% accuracy very difficult. Today I sat for 20 minutes and not once was I able to hear the count in. I gave up in the end. I like the idea of this program but because of this the enjoyment is very reduced :(

Hey guys, just stopping by to let you know we're getting really close to the release. Sit tight for just a little bit longer. Thanks for your patience!

David,

The JIRA ticket http://jira.playgroundsessions.com:8080/browse/PG-227 lists 1.7 as the fix version. Can you confirm it is fixed in 1.6?

I can't guarantee that it will be ready by 1.6, but we're definitely shooting for 1.7 at the latest.

Hi everyone,

You can test out the 2.1 beta, which should fix this issue here:

Installed on Macbook Pro running Yosemite with a Clavinova. I only tested it briefly but the issue appears to be resolved. I'll do more in-depth testing on the weekend and report back my results.
