MIDI preview in MediaBay is somehow broken

Cubase
1

I observe that, when selecting MIDI loolps inside the MediaBay, the “preview” / prelisten is often incorrect.

For a huge part of the MIDI loops I have, the number of bars shown in the preview window is incorrect (I think it shows one to much), and the playback position then “jumps” and the audio “stumbles” during playback.

One example is “Palm Islands - Verse 2” of “Laser Beams” that comes with Cubase. In the “Bar Count” Column, it shows “5”, and also in the preview, 5 bars are shown, but while playing bar 4, the playback position marker suddendly jumps to bar 5. If you drag the MIDI to a MIDI or Instrument track you see that it only has 4 bars.

Anybody else seeing this issue? Any ideas how to fix this?

Ping.

Anybody else observing this issue? @Steinberg, is there a bug report about this?

It surely looks strange but the sound is as it should be. It seems to be only a visual glitch.

Can you live with it? Otherwise add the “issue” tag to your topic please.

Hm, this Palm Islands was a bad example. There, it really seems to be only a graphical issue. But I have other MIDI loops where the sound isn’t played back correctly.

One other pattern in Laser Beams I found is “Belladonna - Intro” - this is an 8 bar long pattern that is played only ~7 bars.

I have no idea what triggers this issue - a lot of patterns are played correctly but some “random” ones show the issue

So it’s not only a graphical glitch. I want to add “issue” to the topic - how can I do this? I am not able to change the headline.

Scroll the topic all the way up. If you then hover the mouse over the headline you should see the edit icon (pencil).

No, it’s not there. Perhaps the topic is too old and so the forum SW does not allow it after a couple of days?

Don’t know. I added the tag now.
