Description
Edited @tresf, added picture, better description

- Open a new BB pattern
- Add a new Automation Track
- Ctrl + Drag the Volume knob from the Kicker to the automation pattern
- Right-click the Automation Pattern, Set/Clear Record
- Click "Play"
Expected Behavior:
- Knob position of kicker should be recorded inside Automation Pattern
Actual Behavior:
- Recording is ok until a loop occurs; resetting to zero as depicted in the picture above
Original bug report
winXp32 1.0.92 tresf 10 jul.
to reproduce:
insert BB -make notes
insert AU-track
bind VOL
set AU-track rec
rec 1 bar of variation
let rec continue at fixed value != 0
The pattern will set to 0 during continued automation rec, not as expected, to the set-value
But, instead of seaching and killing that odd bug, usability wise, I Think REC should be automatically terminated as the length of the pattern is reached -eg Avoid over-writing recorded patterns, then this bug would not matter.
btw , had one crash clicking the overwrited track, but not reproduceable
