I can't find any reference to this bug anywhere, and hopefully there is a workaround.

i have loops that are set to note-on, not one-shot. This allows me to use note length to play out one bar, or four bars of that loop.

If I'm playing a sequence, and in the main menu the program that was default showing was the one with note-on loops playing, that program stays selected when I select a new track - but then when I unselect it to add a new program - the loops which are playing, all stop. Every time.

Or if I go to the main menu, and the program with loops wasn't default showing, I can select a new track and select a new program as long as selecting that new program doesn't involve scrolling past the one which has loops playing - if so, they stop playing.

This is terrible for live improvisation.

i get this both connected to the software and in standalone mode.

Im not a Pro with the Live Performance aspect....But on that 2nd problem...

On 2.8.1....you can Hold Main Button and quick select any track. That'll help you avoid scrollin past a particular track, messing up the Program settings in your performance

Just make sure you have all your programs assigned to the tracks before you start performing live?
