Previewing a sample effect overwrites instrument 1

Bug Description

When previewing the overdrive effect one one of my samples, and then choosing not to apply the effect, the affected sample is written to the instrument 1 slot.

Reproduction Steps

See attached video.

  1. Go to Bass Slides instrument.
  2. Select overdrive effect in the sample editor.
  3. Tweak and preview overdrive effect.
  4. Go back.
  5. Check instrument 1 in sample playback.
  6. The sample will be a weird 2-channel misaligned version of the previewed sample.

Occurrence

Only tested with the attached project, and haven’t seen it come up in others before, but it is always reproducible for me in this project.

Is there still no fix for this yet?

Just to let you know the bug is not permanent. If you switch off the Tracker-plus and back on again the sample in slot 1 is restored however this does need to be addressed as it is nearly three months since this post and no fix in place.

Just for the ease of reproducing the issue. Do you have your project files too at hand for attatchment?

This is actually the demo track “Tech House” that comes on the SD card.

Hi, I’ve also encountered the same bug on the Tracker+. You can find my own report linked under the opening post in this thread.

I wanted to point out that this only seems to occur when previewing mono samples. Previewing an effect in the sample editor will overwrite the top stereo channel of instrument 1, or the entire thing if there’s a mono sample loaded into slot 1. Note that if the sample in slot 1 is longer than the one being previewed, it will only partially be rewritten by the processed audio.

This just happened to me as well, it merged a previewed beat in a nice long pad :sweat_smile:
