pattern length samples don't loop correctly in timeline loop
Sampled a piano phrase.
Timestrech on and set so it's 1 bar at project bpm.
Loop setting is set to forward>reverse.
Record it in to a 2 bar pattern (so the sample plays one fwd>bwd) and it plays back fine.
If I duplicate the pattern so there are 2 instances, adjacent on timeline, it plays fine over both adjacent timeline instances.
But if I set a timeline loop for the 2 bar pattern it plays OK the first time but when it loops it just plays like a brief stab of the sample.
The same if I set a timeline loop for 4 bars (2 x the 2 bar pattern). It plays fine (restarts fine on the duplicate pattern) until the timeline loop restarts after 4 bars.
I've hit this a few times before but forgot to bug report it.. Suuuuuuper annoying. I like to loop a pattern while I'm adding/removing elements. To have to duplicate the pattern all along timeline, just so I can hear it play back correctly, isnt practical...
Anyone know what's going on? Bug? Any workaround?

The pattern plays fine when played once or in procession with duplicates. But doesn't work right whenever the timeline loop restarts.
Be cool to know if it's some kind of user error I can fix or if it's a bug (and if so, anyone have a workaround?). Thanks!
Pretty sure this has happened to me too, but can't remember which of my BM3 sessions it was. I'll keep looking
Probably unrelated, but I also occasionally have looping midi patterns that suddenly stop mid-way after x repeats, for no obvious reason. If I can find a way to recreate the conditions under which it happens I'll post a video like you did above.
Would be helpful for Intua to track it down.
