Flex recorders playing at double tempo/half speed

So I have a gig tonight where I’m using the Octatrack as a looper (using flex machines, not pickup) and for some reason every time I record something it plays back at double the tempo or half the speed! This has happened to me before but in a studio setting where it’s easy enough to go to the attributes page and fix it, but it’s going to put a damper on things tonight if I have to do this every time I record something.

I messed with the memory settings, changing the buffers from 24 bit to 16 but that didn’t help. Maybe I should try turning off dynamic recorders. Does anyone know what causes this? It doesn’t always happen, maybe it happens during slower tempos? Any help would be much appreciated, this is quite irritating!

Edit: seems to be tempo related. Haven’t messed around enough yet but flex buffers played back fine at 91 bpm but not at 77… Why can’t the OT just play back at its master tempo? :frowning:
