I may have some additional info on this issue. I’m a new SD3 user and encountered this problem on day one. It does >not< seem to be related to the status of the plugin window (open/closed etc).

The following seems to be true for me (at least) regarding the “CB12/SD3 stuck pointer” issue.

1. The problem seems to only be Cubase 12 as I cannot reproduce it in Studio One 5
2. The problem is only when repositioning the playback head to a prior point in a project – it does not happen when positioning forward in a project. Either mouse clicking a previous point in the project for playback or using the marker track and the Numlock keys to jump to a previous position.
3. The problem >MAY< only be occurring when I’m jumping back to a prior position while the project is playing– although I’m not sure.  – I can confirm that I cannot reproduce it IF I press STOP before each position change. (!)
4. SD3 resumes play once the host position catches up with it’s halt point.
5. Having the SD plug open or closed does not affect the issue.
6. Opening and then closing the plug window does not affect the issue.

I’ve done a short vid using a simply Cubase 12 project with SD3 and my ageing copy of BFD3. Both products use a similar groove assembly window and the SD3 stuck “playhead” can be seen while BFD3’s playhead tracks with the host. I’m using a marker track and the num keys to jump from point to point. Again, using the mouse to position the Cubase playback head also results in a stuck SD3 playback head.

Second – https://youtu.be/0f3w7zbIAP8?t=60

Third and fourth – https://youtu.be/0f3w7zbIAP8?t=84

And here, notice that I’ve started jumping to other positions before either selecting the same marker where SD3 has halted or allowing the host to catch up to SD3 position. SD3 won’t move until either I send a STOP command or I RE-select the marker where SD3 has stopped. –  https://youtu.be/0f3w7zbIAP8?t=101

Hope it helps somewhere.
