PT Elastic audio weird behavior

Make sure the little green light in the box is ... green and not grey.

You mean the little box near the EA mode selector ? Yes it is green.
I have an update though: all other modes work (mono, rhythmic, varispeed), only polyphonic does not.

Still having this problem, anyone ?

Tried it on other tracks? I regularly found that certain settings (especially XForm) would behave randomly or not at all. For me, going back to a previous save version always worked.

Did you choose ticks (instead of samples )beside the green light ?

Did not try on other tracks, but on different sessions, same random problem. It seems to appear after the first minute or so of the song.

No, I'm in sample mode, default polyphonic mode.

ticks

You mean I should switch to tick mode ? I thought tick mode is required only if you have to automatically conform elastic tracks to new tempo changes in the song. Why would this setting affect polyphonic mode behavior in my case ?
Anyways, I tried it, same results...
What is even stranger is seems to happen only after 1'30" / 2'00" from the start of the track... before that it works ok.
Any other clues ?

That would maybe point me to something with the tempo map, anything of significance at that point? Different region on the tracks?

Nothing I did notice... no tempo changes... what do you mean by "different region on the tracks" ? Anyways my workaround is to do everything with the monophonic and then switch and render with X-Form... but I'd really like to know what's happening here.

I often run into problems (but mainly with X-Form) when I'm working on tracks with lots of regions. Occasionally, the algorithm will stop working only on a couple of regions. But for me this usually results in no audio at all at those points.

Does the same thing happen if you turn on polyphonic on other tracks? (just as a test). If so, you could try to re-import the session data for the two tracks from an earlier version and try that way. Hope you can troubleshoot this to a result.
