Stem waveform doesn't show up on Kontrol S8 screen

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I recently bought a Kontrol S8 to have some fun with the new Stems function. The weird thing is, if I load the track as stem, it does show up on my laptop, but there are no waveforms on the S8 screen. When I start the track, it does works as intended, the screen scrolls, I can use the stems, even the cue points show up, but it just doesn't show any waveforms on the S8. (see photo deck A stem version, deck B same song standard version)

When I load the non-stemmed (Flac) version of the track, it works fine with waveforms on both the laptop and the S8.

My Windows 10 laptop is more than capable (enough RAM, two ssd's with ample free space, Intel 7, etc)

I will keep on searching into it myself, but any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks !

KNOWN ISSUE Stems waveforms initially not visible on D2 / S5 /S 8
When loading stem files (associated or not) on the D2 / S5 / S8, the waveforms are not displayed (stripe is). With any screen interaction triggering a refresh, the waveforms are shown correctly.

It is a known issue with all versions of Traktor Pro 4 up to 4.0.2.

Thx, I will give it a try…….and here are the test results…..

So, when I press the view button (top right button next to the screen), I get the deckA/deckC view and the Stem waveforms shows up as one waveform (like the ones you get with a standard track), but it does work as a Stem, so I can control the sound.

When I press the view button again, I go back to the single deck A view and then the Stem waveform show up as the four little seperate waveforms.

Press the cue points (either on the controller or directly in the laptop) doesn't give a screen refresh, so that doesn't help to get the waveforms to show up.

So I guess this is a bugg in Traktor that will be fixed (soon'ish)

Thanks Maniacintosh81 !!!
