Truely Shocking Update!

In addition to all the problems experienced (copied and pasted below - from First Impressions thread)...

I've now noticed awful distortion noise on MK1 Soft Dream preset (Full, Medium & Small instruments) when using Mod Wheel. What's going on NI? I have used the v1.5 little since downloading it, every time i do I come across new problems. About time you gave me my money back I think! I've earned it finding faults!

From First Impressions thread

Multiple Issues

Stability?
Half a dozen crashes in a couple of hours use! Loading instruments, changing settings in options menu, etc. Also a never-before-seen crash of two explorer windows whilst stand alone v1.5 running too.

Quicker loading times?
Quite the reverse! Much longer loading times than v1 (unless the medium and small instruments are being refered to, but I've never cared to use less than the 'best' sounds provided) Plus it even takes 3-4 seconds for the instrument menus to disappear before the loading bar even appears.

Boomy Keys
Exactly as described by others.

Sustain for Authentic E7
Does not sustain but alters timbre... is it supposed to?

Wah Click
As new wah feature is engaged with mod wheel (and perhaps more noticably when mod wheel returns to zero), the sudden click of timbre change is so marked as to be quite unusable. (If this is a potential factor of all wah systems i'll admit naivity, but it seems bizarre) -(And yes, freely assignable CC's for all parameters, esp. Wah, are definitely a stark omission) -

Increased level
Strikes me v1.5 has had the volume of instruments turned up... but too far?

MK1 E#3 'THUNK' Sample (as v.1)
Has anyone else noticed (can't believe every user hasn't) the 'thunk' of MK1 E#3? Most noticable played hard and held/sustained. Try it and compare with surrounding keys. It dies out far quicker with a quick tonal change. If this behaviour exhibited itself consistently on notes higher or lower than E#3 I'd assume it was an artefact of the original piano (I'm being naive again), but it doesn't, so to me it sounds as bad as perhaps samples missing!

Dropped Notes & Held Notes
After a few more hours play i've had occasional singles notes hold (after passages with sustain used, but seemingly only a single note stuck long after all playing stopped / sustain released)... and occasional notes not trigger when played in quick succession. I never noticed anything like this with v1

Dropped notes test.
v1.5 Authentic Mk2 suitcase. Cubase SL3, Step record 1/16 notes, 1/32length, linear velocity drawn 0-127, then 127-0, then random played velocities... all as in screen grab attached.
Single note skipped on two transitions between bottom three velocity sample layers. Therefore two notes skipped on velocity slope up and two on slope down... plus many missed notes on random velocities played in (in step mode so same timing) due to being around the transition(s).

Without closing v1.5 plug-in I tried original MK2 flanger... all notes played fine.
Attempted then to change to another v1.5 instrument and program crashed Cubase.

 

yeah, I've got to be negative about this one.

For one thing, the product has basically been unusable since I bought.......waiting for updates waiting...waiting.......

I thought I could "salvage" it for at least the clave, but alas......this thing is a DOG. Even the other bugs on the other products are at least something you can work with...this one isn't

sorry ni, it's just not happening
