Can anyone else confirm this? I've tested out all other speeds, and pendulum works just fine, but not at 0.25x speed.

Cannot confirm, works fine here. Make sure your loop is 8 bars long. If you only loop over 4 bars, the pendulum won't swing back.

Loop mode is not on.

it doesn't matter if you have the loop function turned on. if the section of the song you're playing isn't long enough for the pendulum to hit its endpoint, it can't swing back.

if you're using blocks, for example, and you've got a 4-bar block, but your pendulum won't swing back until bar 5, you'll never see the pendulum when you paint your block into the sequencer, because it'll reset everything at the beginning of the four bar block every time it repeats.

I'm not working on a song, I'm just letting Reason play. It's not looping and I'm up to bar 584 and it's not swinging back, ever, unless I'm at 0.5x or higher.

Ah, RESET STEP is at 64 by default, so THAT is what it limiting the pendulum from working at 0.25x.

Works fine now when set to 128.
