Are you able to intentionally repeat the unintended skipping?
Hi dsetto,
Yes, I am able to intentionally repeat the skipping, but it is a very long winded process to go through. Carson did confirm this bug under 1.4.5.5 and thus released 1.4.5.6. However, I saw no change or fix with 1.4.5.6.
If anyone has the time and patience to to test this out it, and supply feedback on this forum it would be greatly appreciated.
SETUP:
System OS: Main OS 1.4.5.6, Voice OS 1.5, Panel OS 1.3 and SAM OS 1.1

You might want to save a Project file at this point, if you dont want to input data again at a later point.
PRESS PLAY
About once every 4 plays of the Play List you will get a skip, you will have to concentrate and watch the time stamp which is very tedious.
I again did this test before posting here and I encountered these results:
Play 1: OK
Play 2: Skipped from Bar 108-113
Power Cycled
Loaded Test Project
Play 1: OK
Play 2: Skipped from Bar 40-43
Power Cycled
Loaded Test Project
Play 1: OK
Play 2: Skipped from Bar 22-27
Looking at that data you would say that transitions into or out of a 6 Bar beat was the cause. But on a previous test I have replaced the 6 Bar beats with 2 & 4 Bar substitutes, the skip bug then moved into 8 Bar beats and usually happened on the third time of playing.
If you do try this out and encounter the same issues, thank you very much for having the patience and time to do this.
