I found a bug, (first one) a pretty annouying one to! :x

Sometimes when I play back a sequence or a song, samples are randomly panned hard left or hard right in the stereo field! :?

It only happens very very sometimes :wink: Anyone having the same problem? You should check it! Youll only hear it with headphones..

:evil:

not here eather, but I did run into a wierd thing last night when I had like hundreds of samples loaded (trying out aksys & usb) and one or two programs didn't reflect to pads visual feedback like if I'd press pad 9 it didn't jump to pad 9 on screen,.. can't say it's a bug, might have been me..

that happens on dum progs in the program page when u have a track selected in the main page with a keygroup assigned to it that is set up with a chromatic pad assigment,

cause keygroups can have a chromatic pad assignment......and drums progs have a default pad assigment ...the notes wont line up,change the track to a program with a default pad assignment or change monitor to prog.

I may be need to be more specific..

Its only happening in a program wich I have aplied tremolo on(program modulation, like someoe teached me here :) ) And then suddenly, at random locations, a short sample just jumps very quickly hard left or right, really fast and short.. It happens mostly with a hi hat or a snare. :? And also only when a complex sequence is playing. (lots of drums, bass, rhodes and some more)

Maybe Sean could help me on DPS forums.. Dunno

Its really annoying, man.. Though I mostly can play a complete song without the pannings, the unit is too expensive for bugs like this! I sold half my studio to get me this beast and now it seems like it has the same problems a PC has. :roll:

hy ikke

you sure that nothin is set to control the panning in prog mod window? maybe check also if you have recorded (by fault) some q-link, pad control things to control the pan ... similar thing happened to me once

There is another one BIG bug : I've made sequences under the 1.45 OS with sliced samples. Now, I'm under OS 1.51 and some sequences don't work properly now. The samples are cutted at the end (only very very few micro seconds) and it's very very bad when you slice a break. It sounds like the break doesn't fit anymore to the tempo.
Did you have any equal experiences?
