Oh my, there's a lot going on here.

First and foremost, you can't use the computer keyboard to test. Most of them have a cheap chip that isn't able to register multiple key presses at once. This issue is long known in the gaming scene (for decades), where specific keyboards were built (expensive of course) to allow players to hit several keys at once.

Second, the midi mono is not intended to register multiple notes at once. It will register notes that are close but not simultanously. That gives the impression it might register chords, but it isn't. It registers one note at a time. If two note-ons happen at exactly the same time it will only register one. The manual explixitly states that midi mone is not to be used for polyphonic synths.

I don't see a bug. If you share a schematic we might be able to correct the mistake that's in the schematic.

Tulamide, thanks for the info :)
I am aware of this well known bug as a long date gamer!

But it does it also with external midi controllers being thru midi or USB;

Read previous posts please, and just use the example synth... it does it also with it... no coding from me inside that...
I also tried to switch the original example synth Midi2Poly with the one of the latest Alpha... Same thing...
As I said before, the last test I haven't done yet, is to see What's the behavior of the said chord played in a DAW...

And then people will say...it depends of the DAW....blahblahblah... No...Commercial plugins like the ones made by Steinberg for example (or whatever dev, you name it!) don't do that... ;)

While waiting for the answer, I can only say that I use a lot of FS- made synths in my production, for example quite a few from Spogg. I never had this issue. Never!

The one from SM I guess... updated with FS components

Does the second Never, with exclamation mark, induces that I don't know what i'm saying or doing???

I have no such example synth. But if anyone shares it with me, I'll give it a test.

Why so aggressive? No. It tells you something about bugs. A bug is an issue that is always reproducable - no exceptions.

At least two people don't experience what you and nix experienced. So it might just as well be some other issue than a Flowstone bug.

I am not dude... ;) it's more like your assertion like the one with the redundant "never", could lead to some ironical interpretation... ;) Weight your words if don't want to see these kind of remarks ;)

Don't you have SM?

So, although you know of the computer keyboard's inability to '"play" chords, here you count it as a proof? Strange thinking.

I am not responsible for what you interpret into my words. Having instructed you, you choose to ignore it. That's a shame :(

Ok I will leave this thread now... even if it's mine!
If I'm the only one (and Nix) to experience that, good...
I'll wait for the return from people when the plug will be released...
If I have comments saying "I can't play chords with you chord synth" I'll link them to this thread!
Good advertisement!!!
