pitch fader strange behavior (or, i dont know how the software works)

[Jay Wilde]

So lets say im running sync, and the next track i bring in has been synced, but the pitch fader is physically not corresponding to where it "should" be as shown in software. the light i understand indicates to me whether i should move it up or down to get to that spot.

however, once i move it, the software immediately jumps it to wherever it physically is.... i would expect/like for it to do NOTHING until i CAPTURE that spot that corresponds with the screen, and then behave normally.

does this make sense? am i doing something wrong or is the software just lame in this aspect?

In the S4 preferences menu have you got the tempo faders set to absolute or relative? try switching it and see if that changes anything.

Hold shift and move it to where it should be first

[padi_04]

If it behaves that way it's set to absolute, you will see the lights above de pitch fader light up to indicate there is a software/hardware difference. Do what mwn11 said until the other light turns on, then they are at a tiny distance.

thanks ill try the shift thing... just seems like it should be normal behavior instead of a shift behavior.... dumb.
