Topic: POI action "loop" behaves unexpectedly when using "ms" instead of "beats"

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Today I wanted to set a marker in the POI editor that starts a loop when the song reaches this position. Since this position in the song doesnt has a steady beat I chose to use "loop 4360ms" instead of giving a beat count. However this does not work as expected. What happens is that the loop does not start at that position in the song but the songs stops and the position jumps 5 seconds before the beginning of the song.

However when I use beats instead of seconds, like "loop 8" it all works fine.

This looks to me like a bug. Try it for yourself. Just create a POI with action "loop 4360ms" or any other number and see what happens.

I have created a POI in the editor. point type "action". Macro action: "loop 4360ms".

It happens as described above. The song stops playing and the play time shows "-00:05.0"

Problem found, only happening in loop back mode probably.
Will be fixed next update.
