Summary of the issue:
Attempting to use 8 Beats duration option in the Sampler record function only results in 4 Beats length.

How to reproduce the issue:

  1. launch App
  2. sampler > record options (lower-left)
  3. change duration from default (4 Beats) to 8 Beats
  4. turn on metronome
  5. press REC
  6. observe REC ‘clock’ and metronome click

Expected Result

  • Rec clock is moving 1/8 quadrants
  • Recording length is extended to record for 2 bars

Actual Result

  • Rec clock is moving 1/8 quadrants
  • Recording length remains 1 bar, the first bar is repeated
  • Recording within the second bar area erases prior events

Hi @NiceThings, Thanks for the details about the issue and your setup - this is very helpful. Can you please also share a short screen recording of this?

Hi @NiceThings, thanks for the video - that definitely clarifies things. I tested this on my iPad and couldn’t replicate it so I need to pass this onto our engineering team to see if they can. I’ll report back when I have news.

Hi again @NiceThings, our engineering team was not able to replicate this either. Can you please check if the issue also happens when you trigger the samples on screen instead of via MIDI? Thanks!

Hi @Slak_Jaw

Yep, it’s the same via GUI

My apologies, I can’t believe I missed a vital part of the repro!

1. launch App
2. sampler > record options (lower-left)
3. change duration from default (4 Beats) to 8 Beats
4. turn on metronome
5. press REC
6. **RECORD EVENTS USING GUI or MIDI**
7. observe REC ‘clock’ and metronome click and PLAYBACK pattern

You won’t see it via the metronome, you’ll hear it from the event notes:
Only the first 1bar is recorded and repeated, the 8 beat extension does not respond.

Thanks for confirming and for the additional info @NiceThings

Hi @Slak_Jaw

Any updates on the Repro? Is it ‘Open’?

Hi @NiceThings, thanks for the reminder. Let me check in again with the engineering team and get back to you…
