Hi,
Maybe not a bug but more like performance issue - playing Snippets is choppy, even with not so many snippets added (<20).
The live rack is shown without any controls too (see attachment).

Oh, and if the figures are like 100m long, that could also be an issue. They should not be much longer than the snippet container.
Check out this tutorial how to import MIDI filed and slice them into reusable phrases.
EDIT: I see you used automatic creation of phrase pools at around 2m. That should not give you any extremely long figures.

Using Figures from example libraries improved the performance. Seems that they are stripped of any midi controller events. Nevertheless, during about 50% Play(s) of snippets (equivalent in content) the slow-down occurred regularly at the beginning of each bar. So I assume the playback is still hitting the limits. I will observe it further. If there is possibility to turn on some performance logging I can do it too and send you the log.

Hi Andre,
Just updated observation - the choppy playback is increasing the more movement of mouse cursor is performed over snippets (of course, for stop/start of different snippet, some cursor movement is required) If it started it remains choppy even after stopping cursor movements. The only way to "reset" it is to stop and start playback. Let me know if this helped the investigation as the issue still occurs even on newest version 2.4.2 Build #3 (Windows)
