Last time I made a beat I had a simulted note on loop with an Adsr filter on it.

So I was wondering if it's normal when the loop restart that the ADSR on filter don't restart. Basically, it seems that it stays at the sustain level. Is that a normal behavior?

Doing that, I found a workflow frustration. I had my note on original loop on pad A01 simulting the same note on LPFed loop on pad A02, so when you press pad 1 and you want to change the LPF setting on pad 2, as it's NOTE ON you have to press pad + DOWN ARROW which will reset the LPF settings (copying previous pad setting). Hence the frustration.

Another basic question, is it normal that simult pad won't work if the program is MONO and not POLY? seems not very logical to me.

Thanks for reading and answering.

Well, if the whole program is mono than only one pad can play at a time. Simult pad technically plays two pads, so I'm not surprised this is the implementation. JJ would have to program an exception for any mono programs with simult pad settings.

Is this something you really want or just asking?

yes thats the normal behaviour on all synths and samplers ive ever used.

note on - A
- D
note held
-S
note off - R

for simult and mono programs, the only work around is to use the sample layers instead. Use resample if the envelopes and filters are different.
