(BUG) Notes recorded too long?

(BUG) Notes recorded too long?

2001-12-13 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Anyone else had a problem with their note durations occasionally getting 
set to the wrong value when you real time record?  Sometimes I'll record a 
part in live record mode, then when I go to play it back, it plays through 
the pattern once fine, but when the pattern loops, the sound drops out for 
that track.  I'll go into Note List Edit to look at it, and only one of 
the notes I played will have it's duration maxed out to the highest value, 
when I obviously didn't hold the note for anywhere near that long.  If I 
set the duration back to where it should be it's fine though, weird.  This 
has happened a few times to me...

Another problem I get if I am playing and recording rhythm parts in real 
time with the record quantize set to 1/16th notes.  Sometimes I like to go 
into Grid mode after I'm done to move a note around a bit, add some 
variety to what I played.  Occasionally I'll see a note indicator in the 
display that I'm unable to get rid of.  I can clearly see that I've got a 
note on the grid, however pressing the corresponding track mute button to 
turn it off doesn't do anything.  The note stays there and continues to 
sound.  The only way I can get rid of it, is to cursor to it's location 
and set the velocity to 0, or enter Note List Editor and erase it there. 
Anyone else seen this one?

Were these possibly fixed in the new OS?  Can we get list of the new bug 
fixes in OS 1.18 please?

Strange, after reading your comment, I tested out a pattern in 4 
measures with arp on and 
recorded pad rhythm in realtime using quantize value of 16.  Then I 
went into grid mode
and record a few notes here and there in all 4 measures.  Then I 
saved to pattern. Then I
replayed the sequence and I can hear my grid notes.  Then went into 
grid mode to see where 
they are located and it is clearly there also.  I cleared the grid 
notes via pressing the track note button to mute like you did and it 
all seemed okay on my end.  Did you try to create the same scenario 
with another pattern to
see if it happens again?
