The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I remember this has been discussed before, have searched the archive 
of messages and can't find a reference to it:

The problem with the an200 when changing from one pattern to another 
pattern, the first part, often it sounds like the first step of 16 
gets chopped or stomped and doesn't sound right.  This happens even 
if you use Song mode and string several patterns together, each time 
there is a pattern change, the lead (doesn't seem to happen to the 
drums) gets chopped or is not as loud.

From memory I can remember discussions about that Yamaha had 
explained this away in that they were reading knobs or something 
after the pattern change and that is what had the unit busy.

Did this ever get fixed in a new software release?

Has anyone found a good workaround, so I can sit with the an200 by 
itself and actually create a song without having to loop each 
pattern into a off-board sequencer?
