Hi Forum
I wrote a little tool which stores the sample position from the VstTimeInfo for each note.
Now here comes the problem:
When the cycle mode is activated the values for samplePos returned by getTimeInfo() get smaller by one sample in each cycle. In other words a note which was located at samplePos==1000 will appear at samplePos==999 in the next cycle!?
Is this a bug in the getTimeInfo() method? Any ideas anyone?
Regards
Gunnar

hi
have you tried your code in another host?
sounds like a host-bug

I think some host(s), per example: cubase SX2 if i'm not wrong, just dont reset the samplePos counter when cycle restarts.

So yes, it sounds like a bug. (imho)

Another thing

samplePos 's utility is VERY limited.
Why do you need it?

using ppqPos and barStartpos is the way to go imho

Hi again!
I tried it with Cubase SL2.0
The host seems to reset the samplePos counter but as far as I can see one sample too early.
I also tried ppqPos but this gave me the same results. The difference here correspondends to the time of one sample transformed into the ppq scale.
