Hi
I was working with the poly porta and i found a semi bug i think.
http://flowstone.guru/downloads/polyphonic-portamento/
Any idea why all the notes that's been played at the same time, slide to one single target pitch, instead of the individual notes?

Have you checked this behaviour in other DAW's or hosts to see if its FL specific?

I found out that it doesn't matter, its happening inside flowstone too. i updated the first post with the new question.

I am not sure why it doesnt work, I only know that this is not really how polyphonic portamento should work. In other synths when you hold several notes, they should slide to the last memorized key that was pressed, right now it does something else it seems

Maybe it is version specific? I tried it with 3.0.6 and didn't experience this. But I had to switch off mono, it leads to the third voice's phase being inf (mostly this results from a division by 0). Not related, but just wanted to mention it.

Nope, tried it on 3.0.6 its the same. Also there is another bug (on the phase runner i think) that doesn't relate to this topic.
It doesn't make any sense, all the channels are being processed separately in poly stream, the previous pitch should slide to each voice separately, so at the end we have all the voices with their own pitch. right now it glides into a single pitch, so we multiple notes with the same pitch.
What do you think is missing here?

Maybe I misunderstood the issue, so let me describe what I did:
I started playing C and D# simultanously. I can hear both notes. Now I switch to F and A (again simultanously) and the slide goes from the previous notes to F and A, ending in playing F and A (distuingishable).
If that's not what you were talking about, I beg your pardon, and would like to have some instructions on what and how to test.
If it is what you are talking about, then I don't understand why it is working for me, but not for you.

Yes but try doing it in your DAW. Its easier because you can paint two or more notes at exact time and hear it.
Maybe a pattern like this:
D note => C chord => C chord
You can't easily notice on the first time because the slide is happening, but the second time instead of a C chord (c+e+g) you only hear a louder c note.
