I recently updated to 3.9 on my MPC One, and also upgraded firmware.

Prior to this I was using 2.1 I think

For some reason, when I use song mode to string together many sequences, at a point later in the song it tends to not fully play through and will start back at the song beginning.

I can get around this by converting the song to a sequence and playing it that way, but it's pretty annoying.

Not sure what is causing it, but my current guess is the overall song length in bars or sequences makes it act funny.

Here's a video showing the behavior. Instead of counting to the last sequence, it loops to the start.

Is anyone else having this issue or able to replicate?
