We know there are a few remaining 'rough' spots in pattern switching and 
we are actively working on fixing them. (Well most people are off for 
the next few weeks for holidays, but those issues are highest priority 
for when everyone is back). Adding the USB support is not taking 
significant resources away from fixes like this. We know that getting 
sequencer timing right is very important. They are just not as easy to 
fix as some of the other items that were in the recent releases which we 
felt were important to get out as soon as they were resolved.

That being said, I'm not aware of your exact problem description having 
been observed by anyone previously. We are aware that when switching 
patterns in Song mode there is sometimes still a bit of a lag on the 
first note of the switched-to pattern, and a couple of other 
intermittent head-scratchers. But I think the behavior changing over a 
power cycle is news to us. Can you verify this and give us some specific 
steps to reproduce this? (You can send your info to me in offline e-mail 
if you'd like).

You should expect a new release announcement around NAMM time (end of 
January).
