In the past week or so I have experienced random track stopping when switching decks with the Rane Twelve. Unfortunately the first time it occurred was at a 300+ wedding reception transitioning from the Git Up to Good as Hell, almost like it was waiting for the dancefloor to get out of control before leaving me scrambling and yanking usb cables. I had 2 more weddings last weekend and just left it in the trailer. I did an hour practice session yesterday and it happened about 30 minutes in, I was just making a mix for mixcloud, and about 20 minutes in, I got the same issue. Deck 2 was master and the outgoing track, I scratched deck 1 in, lined it up, filter, reverb, then crossfader to 0%, then i pressed the deck 2 switch button to start cueing the next track, control switched to deck 2, and deck 1 stopped dead. The play button on deck 1 is blinking on the skin, the cue button is not lit on the skin, I set custom buttons up on the skin (deck specific ones) to monitor the status of the 'RN12DeckBlock' variable, it switched as intended. This time switching back to the stopped deck with the Rane and pressing play got the deck started back, and allowed me to switch decks again without stopping. Yesterday however, the stopped deck would not play unless it was selected by the Rane. I could toggle pausing the deck by pressing the deck 1 and deck 2 switch buttons. I had to restart VDJ to resolve the issue. The incident at my gig occurred on my windows laptop, the other 2 happened on my windows desktop practice machine in my studio. all 3 times I also had a DDJ-XP1, and a Traktor F1 in use. The DDJ set to independent, The F1 not.

I've been testing in my limited spare time to narrow down the circumstances during the failure. It always happens when pitch lock is engaged and the incoming deck is in the process of pitch resetting. I have a button mapped on my Traktor F1 that handles that processhere's the code:
"holding 500ms ? repeat_stop 'syncreset' & pitch_lock on & pitch_reset 2.5% & repeat_start 'syncreset' 500ms & pitch_zero ? repeat_stop 'syncreset' & pitch_lock off : nothing : repeat_stop 'syncreset' & pitch_lock on & pitch_reset 0.5% & repeat_start 'syncreset' 500ms & pitch_zero ? repeat_stop 'syncreset' & pitch_lock off : nothing"
I haven't had time to test long enough to see if manually performing the actions in the script trigger the same failure.

Still experiencing this issue, just occurred without the circumstances i previously thought were the root cause. I'm also getting DM's about it from other users. Can I at least get an acknowledgment that devs are aware? I videoed it this time, and will link the youtube clip once it's uploaded.

I had to apply some effects to the track to keep the copyright police from pulling the video, but it was malfunctioning with no effects.
