A-B repeat with built-in rythm problem/question

[wilkoryte]

hello

I have a new micro br

when I loop measure 1 with the the A-B repeat fonction with a rythm pattern playing(4/4 metronome for example), all the beats are played



when I loop measure 2, the first beat (ding) is missing

if I bounce the rythm pattern to audio, I can loop any measure and the first beat is always played !!!


could you confirm this behavior please ?

hello again

please, could someone do this simple loop test ?

I really would like to know if my micro br is ok or not

I just tried this on mine. I setup the rhythm to use 4/4 metro
(PT: 314). I set my 'a' loop point at measure 1-1 and my 'b' loop point at measure 3-1 (yeah it seems weird but if you set at 2-4 you miss a beat). Then when the "Select A<>B Func" screen showed, I  chose "Rep" (hit track 1 button).  I hit play and measures 1 - 2 loop with the accent on the first beat of each measure. Hope this is clear. I'm not the greatest at explaining things.

hello

thank you very much for your test

your micro br seems to work like mine

if you set your A point to measure 1 everything is fine
if you set your A point to another measure the first beat won't play !?

it seems like a bug ?!

[PhilFromIT]

Actually I hear the first beat of both measures as long as I set the "A" loop point at the very beginning of a measure. Since the rhythm section in the Micro BR is linked to the measures in the song, the metronome pattern will only play the accent note on the first beat in a measure. So if the starting point of your loop doesn't include the first beat of the measure, you won't hear the accent note. I don't feel this is a bug, its just the way the Micro BR keeps itself in sync with the song.

Welcome to the forum by the way, I just read your introduction!

sorry to insist

if you set A point at 002-1-00 and the B point at 003-1-00 and set to "REP"
do you hear the four beats (ding tac tac tac) ?

Ah now I see your problem. I get the same issue. It does appear to be a bug! I had to set the 'A' Loop point at 1-4-95 and the 'B' Loop point at 3-1 to hear the first ding!

I'll have to try with different metronomes and see if the same problem occurs.

I have checked this with several different drum patterns and metronomes and I get the same result. The work around isn't too bad though. Here it is:

1. Goto measure you want to start looping ( 002 - 1 - 00 )
2. hit -> button until the the cursor is under very last 0 in the display (after the decimal point )
3. hit the - (minus) key once. The measure display should read: 001-4-95
4. Hit the A<>B button
5. Hit Cursor <- key to move to the measure value of the display
6. Hit + to select the end measure ( 003 - 1 - 00 )
7. Hit A<>B again

You should hear the full metronome now (Ding, tic, tic, tic)

Hope this helps...

No problem at all. I may report this to Boss just for grins. See what they say about the issue.
