Oh my god I think this explains my issue here:
As a new user who really wants to adopt the s2400 as my main mode of sampling this is absolutely a game breaking bug. I ran into it immediately and it took songs I had worked hours on and screwed them up to the point I didn’t even know what was happening.
I prefer gated samples and holding them down because it allows me to control when longer samples cut off in the most intuitive way to me.
Devs, please please please.
Thank you OP for pinpointing this because it was driving me insane and breaking my heart.
