Looper - Timing Issue

Ok - I'm losing my mind here. I've read every post on this forum addressing looper timing issues and I can't seem to get the the looper on my FM9 to be in time. I absolutely know its not me, I can pull out my very used and trusty Ditto Looper II and nail a loop spot on. So its something with the FM9. Here are the items I've addressed:

1. In the FC Edit - my Record, Play/Stop, and Undo/Erase switches are all mapped to separate switches on the "TAP" function. On each of those switches the "HOLD" function is set to "Unassigned".

2. In the Looper block, I have quantize off.

3. The Preset/Scene is only using 58% CPU

4. My FM9 is on FW: 3.00

Every loop seems to add about 1/32 or 1/16th of time. So when I compare to a metronome, each loop gets further and further from being in time. SO FRUSTRATING!!

What am I missing?

With my FM3 I gave up and just connected my Ditto Looper - no problem I was short on buttons anyway. But with the FM9 I really want to make this looper functional, right now it worthless. Help please!!!
 
Items 1 and 2 are the usual suspects...

Maybe try:

  • Reset the Looper block
  • Update to a more recent firmware
  • Reset system settings
 
I’ve also had a similar experience on the FM9 only. Axe3 and FM3, loops as intended. FM9, sometimes the loop is definitely off.

What page is on the main screen when you’re looping? The home page that shows the preset name and scenes? Or are you on a different page?

I’ve just noticed it last week and I’m trying to figure it out. I have some ideas and will tell the devs once I get better repro instructions.
 
This is why this forum is the BEST! Thanks you guys, I really appreciate it! IT WORKS!!!!

I had my "Record" switch set as the 6th switch. I just moved it to switch 4, and now its in time! Amazing... Seriously I'm so happy. Thank you thank you!
 
Mr. Fender, your suggestion is what saved me. Thanks! Sorry I thought I had added the quote when I originally responded - I was just so pumped. This has been one of my biggest annoyances with the FM3/FM9. And now its solved!!!

"One thing to check is if you're using switch 6 (bottom right corner). If the MLM combo is enabled, that switch will always behave like it has a hold function assigned."
 
Guys, you're awsome !

I had the same issue with my Beatbuddy, and item 1 related to Kidmag initial post was not correctly set

I previously assigned a hold function to the play/stop button on my FM3 in order to call back a previous menu when I was working on the layouts. On FC/Edit menu, I set the hold function to unassigned related to this buttton, and it works like a charm !!!
