Pattern Bug: MIDI notes are played even when pattern is visibly empty

Unfortunately it may take me a time to repeat this bug but I believe this has happened before in v14.

Steps

  1. I had a pattern event with notes
  2. I right clicked to remove all steps from the pattern
  3. The event was visibly empty.
  4. I deleted the event
  5. I created a new event in the same place
  6. The midi data (which was routed to a VST on a separate track) played a pattern that was not visibly present.

In other words, there were no steps in the pattern but there was sound. I soloed the track to make sure. I then tried to remove steps from this “empty” event.

  1. I created a new pattern. This means the event automatically switched to the empty pattern
  2. Then I switched back to the previous pattern that was empty but still generated MIDI data.
  3. This time around the empty pattern functioned correctly as an empty pattern.
