Octopus envelopes release problem

Hi.
I have a problem with the amplitude envelopes in Octopus. With only one voice active, long releases play fine. But as soon as another voice is activated (no matter if it uses the same ore another Amp envelope) the sound stops much too early. And, no: it is not a CPU overload, voice handling, or whatsoever. It is also independent of the host.

I is not 100% reproducible under every circumstance, but 99%, and I uploaded a preset as example:

One voice plays fine, but activate the second voice (or any other) and the release phase is mostly abandoned.

Octopus 1.3, Windows XP

BTW, also some factory presets show this, but it is usually camouflaged by excessive use of reverb and delay.

Hello,
I have checked it on Mac with Octopus 1.3.1 and I can't reproduce it. Have you tried the latest version for Windows?

Hi,
thanks for your response.
I am on 1.3.1 (1.3 behaved the same way).
I just found out that I can "switch" this bug with the "Pan" setting in the FM matrix. I guess this was the reason I could not 100% reproduce it all the time.

If I set all "Pan" to zero in the test-preset (e.g. the one I uploaded), the release phase is fine, no matter how many oscillators are active; but once I dial in a different value for "Pan" on any of the active oscillators, the release works properly only with single-voiced sounds. With more than one oscillator active, the release is interrupted after approx. 2 sec.

I uploaded a little mp3 as an example

(Sorry for the shitty server)

two oscillators (Pan of one oscillator is not zero) => release is truncated

two oscillators (all Pan=0) => release is fine

Maybe another user can confirm (or disprove) this effect.

Hi,
I can confirm your findings and reproduce the problem with the described steps.

Confirmed, thanks for the info George and checking it Palec,
expect it to be fixed with the next version; this is a pretty randomly
appearing big, though its nature, no workaround for you until we
updated Octopus. I dont have a release scheduled yet.
