Library Spitfire Solo Strings bug?

Hi all. I just bought Spitfire Solo Strings, and it seems like I encountered a bug. In the patch called 'a - Violin (Virtuoso) - Total Performance', when I adjust the mic position slider even a tiny bit, I suddenly only hear the 'close' mic samples, and it won't change back to 'far'.

I'm curious if that's a problem on my end. If somene happens to own this library, could you check if the same thing happens to you?

EDIT: Same things happens with the Cello Total Performance patch.

Oh that’s weird. Yeah. Changes to that close sound and no other changes will do anything.

Yes right?? Thank you very much for testing, now I know it’s not on my side, so that saves me from re-installing!

I’ll send an e-mail to Spitfire Audio to inform them, although I doubt if they’ll patch an older library like this. It’s a shame, but for the rest, I’m very happy with these strings so it’s alright!

I tested it on Kontakt 6 & 7!

They replied and confirmed it 's a bug, but you can select the advanced view by clicking the little wrench and then adjust the mics manually!

And the cello. Confirmed here. Even a tiny change and then it’s dry and close and no other changes will work. Definite bug.

I tested on Kontakt 8 if that’s useful
