i entered this mode with REC lit by accident in order to find this, normally i rec in live mode with midi banks, hadn’t even noticed what i was doing at first
i assume 65536 is the max length based on something - is this behaviour expected? i say this is happening when machine is playing and REC is lit, i assume i am doing something the machine does not like. ?
if i then tap other pads and click into the step edit page i can see all the other note strikes i am placing but they do not appear in oled or audible pattern. i add that some of these lengths seem very odd too, for example i had 6 concurrent notes in my edit page with a 768 length but none were audible, i find it odd (possible i suppose) that i could record 6 notes at exact same length one after another…some were zero length too, not sure how that is possible.
in step mode we cannot record while sequencer is playing, we are to use it as a way to scroll the header and tap the pads to insert data - is that correct? if this is true why does it allow us to rec while seq: running and also why is it behaving in such ways? Maybe if we should not record in this mode with engine running the screen could tell us to bugger off or something?
The key is labeled Rec/Edit. When in Step Program mode, it means Edit not record. Yes, you can enter notes (MIDI or not) while the Edit key is lit and the pattern is running.
The bug with MIDI tracks and gated sample tracks gate length going to the end of the pattern happens when you turn the encoder while the pad is pressed. We will fix that.
