I’m not sure what I’m seeing. You’re clicking the A with your mouse? What notes change when you changed the preset?

Pulling out my guitar and playing with this video. This could get embarrassing for me with my dusty ear. Is that A not a C# on the Dance preset. And on the Bottle Preset it is in fact an A.

It sounds like the same note but different octave but I’m only listening and not in front of my computer to check.

Re-label the preset to Evil Clown Music should be a good fix 😉

I hope this helps or for me to learn something. Look forward to hearing back. Thanks.

Every individual key plays a major chord. Which is why I was hearing C# with an A. Besides ever being able to use this if it’s incapable of obeying theory, problem solved. Since it’s not my forte, maybe this is an obvious thing that a lot of EDM composers know what to do with, writing only in Major, and only using the few Major chords in the scale. If you put the majority of midi through it, you will hear unusable dissonance instantly. Still concerned about Toontrack’s first impression with this for it’s customers sine it is the default preset and that was my exact experience. Or maybe I still don’t understand it’s purpose. I can at least cross it off my curiosity list now.

Hi Shootie,

not a bug but a genre “style” if you will. Many sounds in the EDM and related genres are actually chords with more than one note.
OTOH, maybe it could have been labeled in the same way as the Chord stabs but I suspect it just comes down to familiarity with the genre.
MIDI with chords will not behave with such sounds as with a piano sound, in the same way as Latin percussion MIDI will sound a bit funky with a drum kit loaded.

BR,
John

Thank you, John. I was just string to wrap my head around it when I had reached the Chord Stabs Presets. Now I guess I would expect to find it there instead of as Default.

I appreciate you and Scott trying to help me out. Delete the thread if you wish.
