Hey everyone,
Eric from StaffPad here. We appreciate you taking the time to detail your thoughts on how things are going - feedback of all types is what helps us improve.
Now that we have released this latest update, there have been some changes to how the playback functions, or rather the instruments themselves. With this update we have switched over the "base" of our sound library to a different library, which as you noticed has altered playback. One reason you may be hearing such a large change is due to any automation you may have in your scores, as this library functions slightly differently to the previous, the same automation will function differently as well.
With any new update or change, it can take some time to get used to the new sound. That's not to say however that there wasn't anything wrong, or there weren't bugs. There definitely are some things on our end to iron out, and hopefully this recent hotfix has helped.
We are already looking on how to improve the overall quality of the new sound library; we want to make StaffPad the best composition space it can be, and that includes everything from the writing process to final playback, and everything in between.
I won't be in this forum often, but if you guys have any questions, or if anything else comes up - you can always email
