Decks stop working when using Traktor S4 Mk3 in jog mode and TT mangles the speed

[rhaamo]

Bug Description

Hello,

It looks like we have a weird issue related to enabling the motors with that deck.

When the beta motor support is enabled, and the wheels are in JOG mode, randomly the current deck stops working, play/pause or cue button doesn't do anything, pressing TT to switch to turntable make it work again.
And second issue is with the TT mode, when using it, slowing down the moving platter slows down the music as expected but randomly don't get back up to speed and stays at some low speed, tried moving up and down the speed slider, double click to reset it, only pressing back JOG made it go back to normal speed.

In the few minutes of testing (for now), we weren't able to replicate the JOG issue with motors support disabled.

Logs didn't seemed to have anything weird in them. We tried first the beta, then got down (keeping the settings) to the stable one, thinking the beta was in cause but apparently not.

Any ideas how we can try to help diagnose that problem ?

Thanks for your report!

That's why it's marked "experimental" ; )

Joking aside, since there is already a motor overhaul in the making (see Zulip link below, we can't promise a ETA) it is IMO unlikely that someone will do major fixes for the current motor implementation, unless of course it's a quick fix.

I vaguely remember I had similar issue in JOG mode looong ago.
But since I didn't like the feel of that motor implementation I disabled it.

I may or may not remember to try to reproduce, there are so many items on my S4 ToDo list...
IMO the script is pretty straight forward, so maybe you take a look yourself and place some console.warn() lines to track variables and states?
