Orion 8.6 is now available in the service area for all registered users! Orion 8.6 introduces track freeze, new effects, usability enhancements and an update of the skin system. Additionally, many bugs from version 8.5 have been addressed.

and the pattern size automatically increases as necessary - Both streaming and “live” playback now use the same buffer size, increasing accuracy.

this can help us find the reason - Improved “Clone To Track” between internal modules and VST instruments
