Bug Description
Samples Previewed in the Sample Loader play at a different pitch than the Sample Editor.
Reproduction Steps
- Open the Sample Loader
- Navigate to any Sample - ideally one with an easily discernable pitch (ie: ARC Noise/stabs/stab_beast_F).
- Preview the selected sample. Note the pitch that you hear.
- Add (or Import, including Low Quality - it doesn’t seem to matter) the Sample to an Instrument slot.
- Open the Sample Editor for the Instrument you just added the Sample to
- Press the Preview button (the Enter button on the Mini) - note that the Sample is playing back two octaves lower.
- Go into the Pattern view
- Insert a Step targeting the Instrument you just added
- Change the Note values until you match the pitch you heard in the Sample Loader during Preview and then the Sample Editor during Preview (for me, C5 matched what I heard during Preview in the Sample Loader and C3 matched what I heard during Preview in the Sample Editor).
- Update: you can experience the same behavior by using the Sample Playback to Preview the file.
Occurrence
But is seemingly not reproducible in a new Project but is always reproducible in a Project I carried over from my Tracker (running 1.8).
Found in
- Version: 2.0.0

Update: I was able to locate a backup of the project I’ve been recreating the bug with (link). This is a Tracker 1.8 project. With a new memory card (see: issues below) I was able to again reproduce it by opening the project on my Tracker Mini and following the reproduction steps above.
Since the issue does not occur for me in a Project created on the Tracker Mini, perhaps there is a configuration flag on the Project that sets the ‘root note’ for Preview? And perhaps the Project from the Tracker contains a reference to a pitch for the Preview that isn’t set the same when creating a new Project on the Mini?
Original Attachment Post:
I’d love to attach the Project file but I seemed to have experienced Data Loss after connecting the device to my Windows PC. Explorer would not reliable navigate the folder structure and I was unable to get Windows to allow me to Eject the drive, so I exited USB Storage Mode and disconnected the unit. Now most of my Projects and my entire Samples folder are missing. This is tragic comedy of errors, tonight.
