Windows Version & Quality Of Life Updates

Hey FAW team and staff, I know that you guys are very busy mostly with Notes and updates but I do find it a little disheartening that us PC users don’t get these updates at the same or close speed that you Mac users have when coding up these things. I just wanted to bring awareness because some of us actually do this for a living and use your products faithfully in our sessions but we’re stuck in a not so great place with Notes because we’re stuck with the same versions that have major bugs and no updates on when we’re getting our Windows PC updates. I’d like to believe that you all care enough to get us the updates also as fast as Mac that you’re using when updating.

I don’t mean to sound negative but instead of going on your socials to reach out I’d rather say it here respectfully. There are still pops and clicks happening in the bass engine when in mono mode because the phase doesn’t go back to zero crossing correctly even with attack and release volume envelope settings longer. I literally had to use a third party plugin to rid the clicks and pops from Notes which takes the fun out of the synth completely as a user. Two, the functionality such as glide should be more straight forward as in Sublabs glide settings so that keys can glide easier or setting the timing. Three, would very much be nice to see some sort of oversampling within the plugin or a “Offline Processing” option somewhere so that we can get the benefits of little to no aliasing from Notes that way we can bounce down to audio or render without carrying much CPU as if it were a “Realtime” oversampling option. Lastly, there should be some functionality updates for future users as in the interface being more straightforward instead of a puzzle when it comes to multisamples and everything. Yes you all have covered it in previous videos and stuff but there should be a multisample option visually in the sampler engine so people absolutely know that the option is there and when 1 sample is used then only that one sample shows up in the multisample side of the sampler. Midi out is straightforward but again visually in the settings or something would make a slight difference.

I’ve said my peace now and it’s a lot to take in but I do mean well by this and I hope there’s some value here from a dedicated user of most of your products and awaiting as bug fixes rollout. I see huge potential as this being a dream instrument that ultimately enhances more than a burden on simple fixes and UI changes. Thank you all and just hope these things can be of help from your Windows users..

We’re preparing the windows update, hold tight.

We’re going to release it tomorrow. The thing is that the macOS is just an easier system to work on at all levels, so we release on there first. We could hold back the macOS until the windows beta is ready, but then that would be an issue for macOS users.

I wish windows was simpler, but on all levels its a ton more hassle to develop on and that results in slower releases.
