New note entry mode has misconfigured Root Note with beat slice mode

Bug Description

When trying to play some chopped samples via beat slice mode which triggers from C2 upwards… Even though I have those notes/that octave selected in note mode, if I press the C2 note, it triggers C5? It shows all the notes for the C2 octave on screen but when I trigger them, they’re in octave 5?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set root note in project settings to C2
  2. Select a sample, set it to beat slice in the sample playback menu.
  3. Chop the sample into a few slices
  4. From pattern mode, hold Shif+note button to enable new note entry mode.
  5. If not already on these notes, make sure the keys trigger starting from note C2. Do this by holding the note button while in the new note entry mode and navigating to those notes.
  6. Enable rec
  7. Play any of the notes on screen and instead of C2, it’s going to play it in octave 5 (ie. C2 will be recorded as C5, C#2 will be C#5 etc.)
  8. This is the case only in beat slice mode. I tested all the other playback modes seem to trigger correctly.

Nice catch! Thanks so much for taking the time to log this bug :slight_smile:
I can confirm I was able to reproduce this and hope it gets sorted soon!

PS, I change the title ever so slightly.

I’ve been away for a while…has this been fixed at all? Is there a beta version where playing Beat Slice notes work properly or is it still coming?

I played around with it a bunch and found a way that it sorta works for me. Here’s what I found:

  1. Chop a sample into slices.
  2. In pattern mode, hold shift+note to enable note-entry mode.
  3. Hold the note button to change notes. Select the top row.
  4. The 1st note of the top row will trigger slice 1, regardless of what your root note is set to. For example if your root note is C3 then the first note of the top row is C6, which will trigger the 1st slice. But if you shift the root note down to C2, then the top row is C5 and that is the note that will trigger slice 1.
  5. Slices 1-12 are triggered by the 12 notes of the top row (C6-B6). Slices 13-24 are triggered by the 12 notes of the next row down (C5-B5). And so on.
  6. If you record as you play, the notes will record properly, i.e., C6 will trigger slice 1 and will record as C2.

I hope that makes sense!
