Hello!

I have some problem playing WAV loops (using Audio File Processor) in BB Editor. When I turn on first step and press play in BB Editor, i hear very short pause at the end of loop. When I open Piano Roll, I see here 1 very short note. If I expand it to all loop length (delete this short note and draw new long one), loop start to play consistent, with no pauses. I try different loops, but behaviour is the same.

What can it be, or what am I doing wrong?

Notes played from steps always have a fixed length, which is approximately three or so beats (IIRC). A whole note in the piano roll is the way to go.

When you write 'loops' is that loops as in continuous stream? if so there is a much better solution

Thank you for help!

However, I would like to point out that such BB editor behavior is not intuitive for beginners in LMMS. For example, in FL Studio notes played from steps by default have max length (for this pattern), and there are no such pauses.

Ah but real beginners to DAWs won't know what another DAW does. It's always the ones converting from something else that complain because LMMS doesn't work exactly like whatever they're used to. It's hard to resist sometimes though .
