Phrases tool not saving state

kkatzerr

Hello,

I am running Ableton Live 12 on a PC (Windows 11, i9 processor, 128GB memory).

I have just started using the Kontakt composition tools (chords, patterns, phrases) and I am experiencing an odd behavior with the Phrases tool.

I have five steps set up. No matter what I do, after I save, exit and re-enter the first step is always empty.

I have made sure that all phrases are assigned and locked and the project is saved. It happens every time, no matter what I do (and I have tried many variations).

I have not found anyone else having this issue in my searches. The set is very simple. There is only one track in play.

I am probably missing something obvious, but I appreciate any guidance you have.
