Jump on modular loopers not working in synced mode ?

[Pacocreative]

Here’s a UI bug I found in modular loopers.

Context: scripting dynamic changes in playhead position, selectionIn, selectionOut
playhead position is executed with:
InsertController fx1 1 4 = 151745.0

When selection is cleared/full, seeking across the buffer works properly.
When selection is set to a buffer subset in free mode, seeking works fine.
When selection is set to a buffer subset in synced mode, seeking does not work properly.
Playhead jumps to the right sample, but UI playhead position is incorrectly mapped over the sample and selection highlight.

Hi,
I think you’d better use the jump message :

InsertSendMessage fx1 1 Jump 41310

It is the same, but InsertControllers messages are deprecated and may disappears at a moment…

That said, I can’t reproduce your issue here.
Of course, you need to jump to a position that is inside your selection.
If you jump outside of the selection, the playing head is set to the beginning of the selection…

Do I misunderstood someting?

Thanks for your note about the InsertSendMessage. I think I already unified it, but it does not affect the bug.
I’ll record a video to show you exactly.

Here’s a video

For some reason, I can’t reproduce exactly the same behavior now, but something similar happens:
After setting in- and out- points and using jump, the playhead does not loop within the selection, but moves between the last jump-point and the end-point.
No continuous midi command is sent for sure.

Ho, you didn’t say that you are using the ETS player which is really different than the tape player.
But anyway I see no issue in my test either.

May I have a look at your macro to see what you want to do ?

[Pacocreative]

I’m not sure if it’s happening also in regular modes, as I don’t have seeking implemented there yet.
This is coming from my macros that use midi controllers to use looper more as an instrument, including playing with in/out points, speed and dynamic seek(jump)

Look at CaseBranch “[1] Pos” for specifics, but I include a wider piece of code for context.
