MPC One, 3.6.0 Plus Pack.

I worked on a Clip Matrix project for several weeks and it only recently started doing this. I should back up to a previous save point to see if it still happens. It also started doing this on a new project I am working on.

The first one has CPU 50-60% and the second one is more like 35% on the average. There is no predictability as to when it will happen as far as I can tell. Usually it happens when I am letting the clip matrix follow actions take place, i.e. I have not touched the MPC for a minute or two. Sometimes it stops right at the beginning of a new section but not always.

After it stops, if I press "Play" then it picks up again at the beginning of the section (Clip Row) I was playing.

No error messages or anything like that are seen. This is a bit of a deal breaker for live performance.

OK, trying that, so far so good. Thanks.

Kinda strange though, it seemed like it would stop in different places and I don't know how that would relate to (a) where I am in the Clip Matrix and (b) what exactly is in the Arrangement.
