I moved a 4 bar clip from session drummer into a midi track. I expanded it to 24 bars. Even though you can see the events looped for the 24 bars, it will only play the 4 bars of the clip and go silent. It's still playing, but there's no sound after a couple of bars.
 
Any suggestions?

do it again,when you have the 4 bars showing/try right clicking it/select groove clip looping.
the try to streach it 24 bars.
session drummers midi groove are not all groove clips by default.
you can tell a grove clip by the corners of the clip,if they are rounded/its a groove clip.
if they are square.its a just a typical midi clip.

go have fun.

It does expand to a groove clip and I can see all the events. It just wont play past the 4 bars that were in the original groove program while in session drummer.
 
I tried what you said anyway. It didn't work, and now it wont play the clip I just moved into CW even though It displays the midi events.

I'm not really sure EXACTLY,whats going on either,but crap like this,used to happen to me ALL the time,until I spent many more hours with the program,and BANG,it all just works pretty good now.

This is NOT to say,I know the whole deal,cause ABSOLUTELY NOT!,it's just there was a while where everytime I tried to do something seemingly simple,things like what your'e experiencing would happen,and then,later user error becomes more and  more a thing of the past.

Let's hope some other's who know EXACTLY whats going on,answers,sorry it ain't me,but encouragement can help a little.

It seems what chuck says should fix it.  Import the groove, click on it and hit Control-L ..this turns it into a Groove clip and you can drag it out to repeat

If the clip doesn't have rounded corners, its not a Groove Clip.

The clips I imported ARE groove clips. I can expand them and the phrases loop.

It's not playing the midi events. At first it only plays the one phrase I imported, then it just goes silent. (but keeps running).

After a bit, it won't even play the phrase I imported, or, if I move the cursor to play at a different time on an expanded clip, It will pay it as if it's paying the 4/8 etc phrase, then it goes silent.

I figured out a workaround, I just made a new midi track and imported the clips to that, then I just route it to the software synth.
