Sampling length issues at specific BPM values

Elektron Gear Digitakt
33

This is how to recreate the issue:

  • Create new project.
  • Select for track 1 the factory sample “BD Digit”.
  • Set a step on 1, 5, 9 and 13.
  • Set tempo to 108 bpm.
  • Hit sampling button.
  • Set the following sampling parameters: RLEN = 64, THR = 10, SRC = TRK1
  • Hit YES to arm.
  • Start PLAY to start the resampling.
  • Hit < to enable loop.
  • Hold FUNC+YES to preview the recorded sample as loop.

Result: You will hear a loop with audible artefacts at the loop margin. Beside this, you see in the display a small peak at the very right end of the sample (see screenshot in the first post in this thread).

Now change the tempo to 107 or 109 and repeat the procedure as described above. The resulting sample will be recorded properly and the loop is running smooth. The display shows no peak at the sample’s end.
