Gemini layer issue

I am using the individual upper and lower outputs into 4 discrete inputs of my interface.

Either in single/upper or single/lower with binaural off, I’m getting panning that alternates not to the left or right of the appropriate layer, but bouncing between layers. LR PHASE/spread slider is nulled at the bottom. If I repeatedly strike a single key, the note, even when centered bounces between both layers.

Please…why am I not getting discrete audio within the selected layer? Thanks in advance

In Single mode, the SG actually uses the two layers to get full polyphony. The patch is applied to the two layers, each note you play triggers either Upper or Lower, so the output bounces accordingly.

True separate output is achieved in Dual or Split. Why in Single it is not routed to the selected layer outputs? You can try asking UDO Support by mail.

I hope I answered your interrogation.

Thank you, Arnaude.

I did notice after posting, the behavior you quite accurately referenced while in dual and split modes. I can’t understand why the Gemini was designed to behave this way in single mode. Behavior like this is counter-intuitive.

I agree, counter-intuitive. And it makes it useless because of all the manipulation it implies when switching modes. I gave up using the separate outputs, I shouldn’t have to IMHO.

I can’t understand why either. This is such bad design, it’s either lazy firmware programming or not well-thought hardware. It sounds like MIDI notes alternatively sent to two sound engine in parallel, the finishing touch not being implemented - being the sum up of the voices on the selected layer output. Support does not see any issue there though.

I also agree, please change this!! It makes it so hard to use single mode.
