From version 5.2 up to the current 5.5 there is a persisting annoying problem with the playback of instrument tracks with sustain data inside (eg. arpeggiated piano). The problem starts when any other track is selected or solo-unsolo, whereby sustain stops, gets to zero and there are only dry notes without a sustain pedal. I searched forum posts and checked every detail of the problem (external keyboard devices setup, midi channels, midi monitoring, etc). The problem didn't exist before version 5.2. I also have Studio One 3 installed, which works ok with sustain. Obviously, it's a bug. If there is a lot of sustain pedal in the project (eg. with a piano as the main track) the workflow is difficult because of this issue. It's not a minor thing. Already six updates (including the latest) ignored this issue. Presonus team seems to react on request quantity, so whoever recognizes this problem, it could be useful to send his request. Thanks.

I'm experiencing the same problem with Kontakt libraries and multi instruments. I can confirm that there is something weird going on and that needs to be addressed.

When you select the track it works and when you select something else it doesn't work.

Does it again work when you select the track again?

For external VSTi (eg. Kontakt), no - once sustain stops, nothing helps but stoping and restarting playback. For internal VSTi (like Presence XT, MaiTai), sustain reactivates as soon as it gets the new "sustain on".
The cause seems to be in midi monitoring. When automatic midi-monitoring is turned off (the option "Instrument Input Follows Selection" unchecked), switching between tracks doesn't cause the problem.

I can confirm this as well. I also experience some issues with the sustain pedal when I use the retrospective record.

If the previous part had sustain automations, and after it I record a new part with retrospective rec + sustain pedal, I get the midi of the new part correctly, but the previous one loses the sustain pedal or sometimes causes the sustain to not work at all..

I can't figure out why but it seems like something that does not depend on the user.

In 5.3 there’s also an annoying bug where sometimes a track will end up in a state where Loop Take Record will remove the sustain data when you stop recording. There’s some precondition for it but I haven’t found it (and the same song behaves correctly loaded in earlier versions).

Just mentioning that to confirm that there is some sort of sustain issue in 5.3, but I’m not sure what brings it up and so far it’s been somewhat rare for me.

Yeah, I experienced the same issue like this one and also the other issues indicated by other users in this thread.

Sustain is very problematic right now for me.

Sustain-data behavior obviously is something that needs to be addressed by the developers. I work a lot with piano, and such a problem ruins smooth workflow.

I think we should create a support ticket and ask the team to check for any issues. Hopefully they can find what's not working..

I have sent mine, but it would be best if you could send your tickets as well describing the problems you have encountered. Maybe also link this thread so they can read it :)

The sustain pedal bug is ignored in the latest update, so I am persistent to push this on the forum and motivate people to send requests.

Yes I noticed that and was pretty upset.

In the meantime I noticed another bug which is related to automation. Studio One sees the sustain automation as a constant signal that is being received, consistently and all the time.

For example: in the top-left automation area, the sustain is always considered a received automation signal and therefore makes it impossible to for example hit ALT+A on a parameter that you are using during playback.
If a piano midi track with pedal automation is playing, you try to move a paramter in another plugin to then record it's automation, you won't be able to cause it will be replaced by the sustain automation in the piano track.

You have to stop playback, only then then you can do that.

@kisnou thanks for your reply. I tried to recreate the problem you described, but that part in my setup seems to work ok. The way you described it, it looks connected with this general sustain automation problem.

That one's not a new or unknown bug but it is quite frustrating. The easiest way to avoid that issue [different from the op's issue] is to avoid putting a VST2 or AU in a multi instrument. Sustain pedal changes will constantly be sent to Control Link, meaning Alt+A won't work anymore during playback. Also, if you use the "Recently touched" Control Link feature then this breaks some Faderport functions.

I stopped using multi instruments to avoid this issue.

I did, about a year ago. Support said they passed it on to the relevant people. It's been a bug since before version 4.0.

No idea, and no problem. Hope that saves other people some confusion. FWIW stock S1 instruments are VST2s so they cause that issue, too.

Just to reiterate, what the original poster mentioned is a newer issue and I don't know what's behind it.

Just created a new ticket. It's my third one regarding all these problems and they were able to reproduce the bugs in the first two, I really don't get why it is taking so long but hopefully we can see this fixed in the next update.

Just keep doing that, if needed. I already sent two requests for the problem, and if they ignore it in the next update, I'll be persistent and send the request again. Their priorities significantly depend on how many people request something.

Yep, I already did that and they told me they are aware of the problem and to "hope" for a fix in the next update
