Anyone having troubles with 2 and 4 bar loops cutting off after they loop in sequence turn over?
Im talking about when in note off mode..
If so hit me back as I have a good way around this..
Im not talking about changing to one shot mode either

freddy,

if you are looping beats or pads you can try adding a little bit of reverb I find it adds just enough most of the time...

or you can try changing the sample to be a 1shot and then change the polyphony to 2 in the keygorup for that sample. this works best when you have samples that are just a little longer than the 4 bar loop. this way when it gets triggered again say at 1.1.0 it will retrigger the sample with some overlap perfectly...

just some ideas...
hope it helps.

Actually, yes, I've had this problem once or twice in the past. It appears to be some kind of bug in the system. What's your work around?
