Hey Modartt
I love Pianoteq. The best VST I ever purchased was this one, but...
If I play the middle C (I have noticed this for all notes, this is only mentioned as an example note), and then I play the middle C again. Obviously I interrupt and mute the original C because my finger leave the key, and the second one should ring out as the hammer strike the strings. Now if I could play the piano this would be of no significance as one cannot replay a middle C without first releasing the very same key one wish to repeat. But if I were arranging a score (which I am forced to because I cannot play the piano) one can easily make two middle C's overlap. In FL studio when two pianoteq-notes interrupt themselves, in the manner I just explained, both the previous and the most recent notes are muted. This is usually no problem because:
A) I'm am an obsessive nerd with I severe dislike for overlapping notes (don't ask)
B) It's easily fixed with a little TLC.
However that's not the end of my "report". The previous section was necessary for me to explain where I think the bug might be found. The previous bug was pretty easy to work around, so I didn't want to bother you. But recently I started working on a rendition of "Everybody Loves Somebody" and found the "swing" function in FL studio very handy. But this overlapping now seems to occur despite the efforts I mentioned earlier but only when "swing" is non-zero. Worse yet (the actual reason I write to you) even when notes do not overlap. My guess is that FL studio doesn't actually handle the implicit "note-off" when the timing is "swingy" (I'm sorry I really am doing the best I to try to convey this to you in a manner that is, at least realatively clear). Or at least it's relegating the implicit note-off (note-interrupting-itself) to the individual VST's themselves. But I don't know, maybe you don't handle it, and nor does FL studio. Or perhaps BOTH try to handle it and a conflict of sorts occur, I don't know.
Here are a couple of examples:
Vanilla (swing is set to 0%):
Track removed from soundcloud...
Swingy (swing is set to 50%):
Track removed from soundcloud...
Swingy (swing is set to 50%, slowed way down to exagerate the effect):
Track removed from soundcloud...
Now I don't know who to send this bug-report to you or Image-Line, but given your VST is the only one I've found that does this, it seemed natural to write to you at least first.
*EDIT*
I have tried with a few other VST's just now. Synth1, SuperWave P8 and SuperWave P80 also does this.
*EDIT 2*
Nexus 2 does this aswell.
Best regards... and a huge resounding Thank you for Pianoteq. I love you guys!

PS: Don't feel blue, Image-Line. I also love you and FL studio... I have a big heart
