Playback glitch with Violin 1 #19191

Open dominicelse opened 1 year ago

dominicelse commented 1 year ago

Issue type

General playback bug

Bug description

With "Violin 1" instrument, at certain tempos, playing two half notes followed by a quarter note, where the quarter note has louder dynamics, leads to a weird glitch in the playback of the quarter note. (Other combinations of notes do not seem to trigger the glitch). I don't know how to describe it exactly, except it sounds quite bad. Other instruments such as "Violin 2" do not appear to have a similar glitch.

See the attached screen recording with audio.

Steps to reproduce

  1. In a new score, set tempo to "quarter note = 80" and place two half notes at dynamics "mp" followed by a quarter note with dynamics "mf".
  2. Select "Violin 1 (Solo)" from MuseSounds for playback.

I'm experiencing this issue too. Same result after exporting as audio file. Appears to be a common problem related to switching dynamics. Louder dynamic of the next note gets 'applied' to the previous note momentarily just before the next note plays, causing a 'pluck' sound. Does not appear to be exclusive to specific tempo, note duration, etc. Also not exclusive to violin 1, all violins appear to have the same issue. Switching the sound 'font' in mixer (e.g., MS Basic --> Muse Sound > Muse String > Violin 1) does not help.

@TheBigFailure For me it does seem to depend on specific note durations, though not the tempo so much. I don't hear the glitch if I change any of the note durations in the score I showed in the screen recording (I guess it could be there but less noticeable). It does seem to appear in a lot of different instruments (I tried "Viola", "Violincello" and "Flute 1"), but I don't really hear it in "Violin 2" at least.
