ACE, unwanted "stacking" when pedal down in poly mode

[K9us]

Hello,

Been trying out the ACE synth demo and I really like what I hear/see. However, there's one thing I would like some more insight into before I go ahead and purchase. Basically it boils down to what ACE does when in poly mode and when using a keyboard pedal.

If you strike a key with full force (MIDI velocity 127) while not using the pedal, the resulting audio is played once and thus have a certain sound level, which you can see in the oscilloscope. However, if you hold down the pedal and strike the key multiple times (doesn't matter if it's velocity 127 or not), the audio is stacked and the sound level increases. Again, its clearly visibile in the oscilloscope. If you strike the key with full force twice, I think you've got a 6dB increase, i.e. double the sound level. Strike it one more time and you've got another 6dB increase, and so on.

Is it somehow possible to avert this? What I would like is an option to simulate a piano behavior, sort of. On a piano, if you strike a key with full force multiple times while the pedal is down, the resulting sound level will roughly remain the same since the piano hammer is striking the same strings over and over. It's basically "restarting" the sound. So my question is if there is an option in ACE to end the previous sound when I hit the same key multiple times while pedal is down?

Thanks in advance.

Actually on the piano it's not necessarily "restarting" the sound, it is very possible to in fact build up the loudness by holding the sustain pedal and repetitioning the same key - depends on the phase in which the string is when the hammer strikes it.


But I do get what you wanted to say.

Poly 2 mode?

Sounds like a reasonable feature request.

Would be awesome if this feature was developed. One of the patches I've managed to create really begs to be played like it was a grand piano
