Sample playback - slight stutter in Song

Sample playback - slight stutter in Song

19 Dec 2008, 22:34
I decided to create a test 'Song' by recording some sample phrases using the Digital Outs from some of my other gear (XV-5080, XR, DR-880). The Fantom G worked nicely and I'm happy with the job it did. When I play back the samples in the sample editor, they seem fine.

I created a test song and put one of the longer samples in an audio track. It's about 25 seconds long. Nothing else in the song at all. When I play back the song using this single sample, I can hear differences. It seems like it's stuttering Oh so slightly during playback. It's like the synth is having an issue trying to keep up with the sample playback and also updating the user interface at the same time. I checked to make sure no other FX were being used on the sample or in the song. Dry playback.

I have a 512 Memory installed and it's about 85% free (Sample)
User memory is 76% free
I'm running with Version 1.20 of the OS


The sample that I am using is 9.1MB
For grins, I rebooted the Fantom and it's still there.

Anyone else seen this? Suggestions?

DOH! I figured it out.

The sample had the BMP set to 80.
The Song defaults to 120BMP.
When I set to Song to 80BMP, then it was OK. "Tarter Sauce".

Which begs the question ........
Is there a setting to tell the "Song" to just play back the sample and ignore the BPM on the samples?

If I have 30 samples in my "Song", I'd have to set the BPM in all of the samples to match the BPM of the Song?
