When using beatsync with breakbeats in Renoise (3.4.4 and 3.5), if I drag in a 4 bar sample @ 170 bpm, and my project tempo is 170 bpm, Renoise will automatically set the beatsync line value to 32 (playing the sample at 2x the tempo, because the whole sample should last for 64 lines). If I drag in a sample that’s 8 bars (170 bpm), it’ll set it to 64 lines (again, 2x the tempo).
This becomes an issue when working at similar bpms that make beatsyncing make sense (e.g., my breakbeat is at 170 but my song’s tempo is 174). The main issue is that Renoise automatically changes this beatsync line value every time I drag in a new sample and I can’t find a way to stop that from happening. This makes switching out break samples in real time a pain, every time I drop a new one in there it sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks hehe.
If it helps, this has happened to hundreds of samples with known bar lengths and tempos that I’ve dragged in. Very rarely does it capture the right beatsync line/tempo value, probably one in every hundred or so.
Surely this is an oversight on my part? How can I ensure that the beatsync value matches what I need for these standardized samples? Is there a way to lock that beatsync line value?
