I sense your frustration; it sounds like you’re taking a careful, measured approach. I don’t work for Eventide, & I think that the programmer who worked on much of the Looper code is employed elsewhere now (?) I’ll stick it out with you, & keep it floated for an official response.
I wrote this up myself years back, but I haven’t been able to reproduce the AUTOPLAY issue today. My test H9 is at version 5.8.5.1, and the H9 Control app [Windows] is at 3.7.0. Long shot, but make sure you have the latest updates installed.
I’ve run quite a few custom Looper presets now (with AUTOPLAY), over a few dozen minutes each. No parameter reset. In fact, one is still running right now as I type this.
It’s straight in from the D/A MIDI Baby 3 to that test H9 (not in my more complicated MIDI system). If you haven’t already, try temporarily removing the Zoia & Line6 from the daisy chain. And I’ll slot in some Looper presets on my mega-MIDI system, to see what shakes out. That’s where the original FCB-1010 from the OP lives.
