Aggressive warping causes loop to move out of sync

I have a drum loop which I have warped so it's playing in time with my set. In one section every hit has a warp marker.

There's a small section of drum tail that I want to cause to repitch weirdly. In Live 4 I could move a warp marker left or right, close to one of its neighbours, causing a sudden fluctuation, then it would return to playing in time immediately afterwards, when it hit the next (in time) warp marker.

However, on Live 5, I have found that the loop never regains its timing afterwards and plays slightly behind the beat.

Anyone else?

Cool, as long as it's being looked at.

I don't actually have any active work using it at the moment (I sympathise with you tho!), but it's going to be a serious limitation for many until it's fixed. It's a trick I learned from working through the Live 4 tutorials when I first got Live - in many ways a key feature...

yes, its a key feature and it doesn`t work anymore...

i feel like changing from live3 to live4 when there were stutterings with large live3 set open in live4.

i really hope they are aware of this big issue and will fix it soon. i`ve so many loops which i trimmed with great precision using warp markers, and now all of them sound extremely different. my whole music is based on warping the loops
to produce new sounds. if i have to render all loops in live4 for using in live5 my set would grow perhaps from 300mb to 2000mb. i would need weeks for doing that...and i have no time...and perhaps the old problem with large sets would come back...

i`m very disappointed because i want to use this really great new version of live!!!
