hi randy. i was wondering if you could check this out for me. when aftertouch is assigned to volume rather than the envelope and an arppegiator is running there seems to be some problems with the notes coming out in sync or the sound cuts off abruptly unable to retrigger sound. the arp runs fine with the envelope assigned to volume. is this a bug or maybe is there something i'm not understanding with the synth or mpe mode itself? the patch is fine without the arp running and the arp works for patches with envelope assigned to volume. the arp is activated on the linnstrument itself and Aalto only has aftertouch assigned to volume, the envelope is not used in the patch.

i'm running windows 10,Aalto 1.7, 32 bit running in savihost 1.42, using aalto and linnstrument in mpe mode. arppegiator on in the following patch:

I was just demoing the Madrona Labs Aalto Demo Software since the Linnstrument and Aalto support mpe: i was looking at Geert's post on the mpe specification - multidimensional polyphonic expression. I just made a few basic tweaks from a basic default setup patch in Aalto: from y axis to timbre circuit in oscillator and pressure dedicated to filter and amp. A little of the built in reverb just to demo the demo. Just checking to see if mpe and soft synths would work for me in general. I have tried some other soft synths and they all tend to overwhelm me. The interface on Aalto feels on point. Looking forward to Kaivo and mpe.
