Not quite correct. I was actually able to get rid of that stuttering by only using the setting "8ths Per Cycle = 16". I now use a different approach and never experience stuttering. I always set the Switch Quantize to "cycle", Quantize Mode to "Subcycle" and use different 8ths Per Cycle settings depending on which timing measure I'm playing in (16 for 4/4, 10 for 5/4, 12 for 6/8 and 14 for 7/8). I noticed that some of these non-4/4 timings give that stuttering, but it only happens to Track one: the "Sync Master Track". So I work around that issue by using, for my "first loop", a script that when going out of recording mode mutes the track and copies the loop to the next track and also selects that track. So whatever bad stuttering will happen on that old Sync Master Track no one's gonna hear it. I like this concept a lot, because as a free gift it gives you a back- up of the global tempo. This means you are free to trash the sync timing as much as you want on all tracks, doing un-quantized cuts, re- tunings and bizarre stuff. You can always get back to the initially correct "first loop" length by simply selecting the muted first track and then selecting an empty track (I use this pref setting; create a new one cycle empty loop when selecting a track in Reset Mode.... or whatever that's called). This all, above, is written according to the standalone version of Mobius.
