Common issues

Troubleshooting reference
IssueTry this
New controls are missingThe July 10 features may still be pending Apple approval or rollout; update from App Store or TestFlight
Sample recording is unavailableUse the standalone app where possible, enable microphone access, and stop loop capture before recording a sample
No input level appearsOpen the AUDIO tab, refresh the input, choose the correct device or channel, and check the connected interface or mic
A sample will not saveTrim must leave audible audio, the result must be 30 seconds or shorter, and replacing occupied slots requires confirmation
A step does not play every loopCheck CND; values above 1L intentionally skip loop cycles
Live recording feels looseCheck QNT; OFF preserves micro-timing, while 1/16, 1/32, or 1/64 tighten placement
MIDI output is silentCheck OUTPUT ON, destination, output mode, MAP-enabled tracks, mute or solo, and host MIDI routing
Filter Pad moves but no sweep is heardTurn on Filter and route the selected voice or MSTR to it
MIDI export does not match exact playbackExpected for pitch, PROB, CND, and FX; use Loop WAV or Capture for exact audio
Repeated live taps became a ratchetExpected when taps are on the same voice inside one step window
AUv3 pattern recording does not write stepsThe host transport must be moving
