I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas or has experienced similar issues with the OP-XY.
I was hoping to be able to have a 1 bar scaled to 8 workflow but I’m experiencing a problem. When I play a sequence, the notes in the last bar get improperly quantized (regardless of how perfectly timed they are played). I’ve recorded and re-recorded many times but the same thing always happens just in that last bar. Is this a known bug?
I do realize I could switch to 2 bars and scaling of 4, but I feel that I just shouldn’t have to so I was hoping for a solution or at least to bring it to attention.

Hi there! If you hold down the Bar button and adjust the first encoder you can change how quantized the pattern is. By default it’s 100% quantized.
Hopefully that helps but let me know if I’m misunderstanding you.
Unfortunately it acts the same no matter how I set the quantization. It seems to actually be a glitch as it happens no matter what I do just in the last bar.

I noticed that too! Funny enough, I was about to start a thread on this a few days ago, but when I used scale 4 in one of my tracks, everything seemed fine.
But now that you mention it, it could really be related to scale 8. I couldn’t quite remember when it happened to me, but I did notice that no matter how perfectly I played, the notes at the end of the 8th bar were always off — even though everything in the bars before that was fine.
Could you send a bug report?
sounds like a bug i reported to TE back in January. its definitely not limited to 8… happens to me a lot with just 4.
here is how i described it in my report:
I’ve come across this bug multiple times now and I believe it has to do with how the quantize function handles notes at the very end of a pattern. kind of hard for me to describe but usually it becomes an issue when i’m using track scale set to 4 or 8. if i have a 16th note that is right before the pattern loops around, usually the quantize function will either mess up the rhythm or omit the note entirely.
i followed that with detailed reproduction steps and an accompanying video. i got this response from T.E.:
thank you for confirming the firmware, i’ve tested it on a unit here with the latest firmware and been able to replicate it as well.
we have now forwarded this issue to our dev team, they will look into it and try to find a solution as soon as possible.
I don’t love the fact that its over 6 months later and it hasn’t been addressed. Playing live into scaled patterns is an important part of my workflow so it really bugs me!
I would say that it couldn’t hurt to file ANOTHER report

Try quantize with track scale of 3 or 6 playing in time signature 3/4 or 6/8. Quantization makes it a total mess. I reported it to TE months ago but they barely accepted it to be a bug.

I just tested this and figured out a workaround.
First of all I made a 1 bar pattern at scale 8, all quarter notes, and when I played it back it was perfect until the last couple of notes where it skipped about, as if applying a really over the top groove.
I wiped it and then set the bar length to 2, and recorded the exact same sequence again. Then when I was done recording I set the bar length to 1 and it looped perfectly, as you’d expect it to.
It’s a faff and a workaround for a definite bug, but do that to get your part recorded correctly.

Wow. Thanks for the update! I’ll try that out as soon as I get a chance. Annoying that the bug even still exists, but that workaround doesn’t seem too cumbersome at least.
I had exactly the same problem when scaled to 8 and played in with zero quantize. Does TE read these threads or do we need to email support?
