earmaster used to work just fine, but when I tried to use it again yesterday something strange happens, everytime I try to use it.
The chord sounds for about half a second and then dies. Like theres no decay and sustain. Its just like a very short "dam".
The strange thing is, that if I hit the preview button in the "MIDI devices" menu, only the first chord is short like in the exercise but the last to chords of the progression sound just fine.
I use Kontakt4 as playback, but as i already said, everything worked fine, when i started using Earmaster about a year ago.
The only thing, that changed in my setup was a new interface (saffire pro40) and a new MIDI keyboard, which I already tried to unplug, while using earmaster.
Could you check the attack values specified under the MIDI Instruments tab in EarMaster's PREFERENCES?
Try to set them all to 127 (the maximum) and test the MIDI playback again to see if that helps. Perhaps the values are too low, and trigger shorter samples in Kontakt.
already did that, as well as different instruments in kontakt.
The strange thing is the fact, that when hitting the preview Button in die MIDI devices menu the last two chords (which - i assume - are generated with exact the same settings) sound normal and just the first one doesnt sound properly
Yes, this is indeed rather strange. Have you tried to test the MIDI with the Apple DLS Softsynth instead of IAC3/Kontakt? How do the chords sound with the standard device?
