ZynAddSubFx - levels

Hi,
As I have mentioned earlier I’m still in the process of rewriting my old snapshots (some back from 2017) to new oram with rpi5 (after succesfuly tinkering with minimal upgrade set).
And I’m observing very strange and frustrating behaviour of ZynAddSubFx engine.
First, there is a problem with release time with some presets. Release time is almost endless. If one change little bit of the volume release parameter (in vnc server) all return to normal.
Secondly, there is some instability with the volume of the sounds. Whole engine is now significantly louder than other engines but when one change engine volume parameter and save snapshot then after loading this snapshot volume parameter isn’t change but sound is louder (or quieter). When the volume parameter is changed little bit sound jump to actual level.
I cannot find any explanation. Maybe this is when using different zynaddsubfx sounds on multiple chains?
Maybe this is nothing but when looking at vnc server and loading snapshots, the zynaddsubfx engine is the one and lonely that is not shutting down before loading new engines of another snapshot. Attached snapshot, I think, showing this issues.

Hi, I would like to know if anybody can reproduce that issues.
This occurs on all my Zynthians (Pi4 an Pi5) and is little bit frustrating especially in live situations, when another loaded snapshot (after previous) with ZynAddSubFx chains has sound volumes not exact expectations.
Should I rise Issue ticket?

Yes, I think it would be appropriate to Report a Problem using the big button at the bottom of the main screen in WebConf, if you can reproduce the problem with the latest Oram and Vangelis. Please attach a few snapshots that cause the problem as they were originally prior to Oram.

I’v raised the ticket.
And attaching the simplest snapshot with the issue

It should be fixed now. Please, update and test (vangelis branch).
