This is an issue I run into whenever I use Renoise for “real instrument” stuff, recording long samples. I don’t have a reliable method for reproducing it, which is why I didn’t report it sooner, but it comes up often enough that I ought to mention it.
Description:
Playback of a long, newly recorded sample sometimes does not finish. This does not seem to happen with samples that have been loaded from disk or played back a few times.
Steps to reproduce:
- Record a sample, preferably several minutes long. I suspect the length correlates to how frequent the issue is, but I can’t be sure.
- Add a slice and enable autoseek. (Maybe unnecessary, but it’s what I usually do.)
- Play the slice at the start of a pattern, letting it play back over the course of multiple patterns.
Expected results:
The sample plays out in full (or until it’s retriggered or receives a note-off).
Actual results:
Often the expected result happens, but sometimes the sample abruptly stops playing. Starting playback from the beginning can fix it, and once it is “fixed”, it doesn’t seem to happen again.
I’m using Renoise 3.4.4 on macOS 15.5.
