Micromove prevents Play X | Skip X

Bug

Bug Description

When using Micro Move on a step with Play 1| Skip 1 it will ignore the Play 1 | Skip 1.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Place a sample on any step (I did 4 on the floor kick)
  2. Apply Play 1 / Skip 1 chance for Play Sample
  3. Adjust micro move on sample by any value other than 0 and the sample will Play repeatedly
  • Note that if Skip 1 / Play 1 is selected it will exclusively skip the sample
  • Also note, if a longer variation like Play 4 | Skip 4 is used and you change Micromove while it is skipping it will continue to skip indefinitely

Occurrence

Bug is reproducible: Always

Troubleshooting:

  • Restarted Play, made a new pattern, made a new project, used different samples

Tested and Found in

  • Version: (1.2.0)
  • Version: (1.1.0)
  • Version: (1.0.0)

This is still an active issue as of version 1.4.1 and prevents built in fill patterns from functioning as intended and doesn’t allow for more off grid groove with chance.

Seconds after writing the reply the same pattern I had issues with worked so this may have been pebkac :sweat_smile: I will investigate further

I think I’m finding a variation of this. I believe micromove prevents all Play X | Skip X. I can’t get any skips.

MicroMove issue does NOT occur when apply Move (to at least one step event in track) - then MicroMove works with Chance logic. Reviewed other projects/patterns using the MicroMove feature and a Move occurred in each (before applying the off-grid feel).

Confirmed to also be present in the Play+ by @donald.finch

I’ll second that confirmation. I actually forgot all about this bug, but it was one of the reasons I moved away from the Play+ as a main sequencer after using it to write my last album. So thanks for reminding me😂 The workaround I used was to just avoid the chance function entirely and map out the song note for note in song mode😵‍💫

You can do it, Polyend! Squash them bugs​:sign_of_the_horns::heart:
