Can I stop MainStage Playback and Metronome cutting off note tails?

Thanks for the reply.

"Instantly silence previous patch" is unchecked in the patch settings.

In preferences I've tried the "Silence Previous Patch" at different lengths but I don't think this is relevant to the problem.

I want to be able to..

1) Play an instrument without the metronome or playback on

2) Then hold a chord

3) Then start/play the Playback/Metronome without it cutting those notes off.

This all should happen within the one patch.

Thanks, looking forward to seeing if you or anyone can verify Apple's update on this function.

No Sir, no solutions, no word from Apple.

I can't understand why this problem persists when Apple announced in the 3.1 Release Notes:

"Starting Playback or Loopback no longer cuts off the tails of plug-ins that are already sounding."

Either Apple are lying, or we are missing something.

In the meanwhile, my only workaround is to go back to using Ableton Live, which is not as good managing complex patch setups.

Live lets you hold notes and start metronome, fine, but on the other hand it cuts off notes when you press "stop".

I can't bare it! :]

Yes, as I mentioned, this is a possible workaround, but is a terrible solution in many scenarios (eg. you have to wait for beat one to come around when you 'un-mute' the click/metronome).

A note to Apple and its developers: Stop lying about your updates and fix this problem. At least admit that you have NOT fixed this problem. I posted this a year ago. (And yes ,I have sent 'feedback', but you don't listen.)

Lies...
