hi guys!

i found two problems.

1. take a long sample and assign a slider to the pitch (realtime).
then hit the pad with the slider all the way up.move the slider down while the sample is playing.
the sample isnt played back completely. a bit of it is cut.
how much depends on the pitch and time difference. (sry about my bad english :oops: )

2. this is a problem with the track mute feature.
i think the recorded slider events shouldnt be muted. (hard to explain)
when u have an 4 bar loop for example and move the slider all the time without stopping its no problem. but if you have only a few events at different points on this loop you get a problem when using the trackmute feature. take a sample and hit it four times on the 1 (4barlooop).
now record pitch events with a slider at 1.01.00 and at 3.01.00. when you playback the loop none of the four hits is played back with the original tune unless your pitchevents ended at original pitch.
--- now use the trackmutefeature and start with this track muted. if you
unmute at 2.01.00 and 4.01.00 youll here this two hits in original pitch, because the events are muted too.
i think this should be fixed!
what do you think?

I could reproduce that one too. It only happens when you pitch the sample down while playing, however. Pitching it up is not a problem.
