Thank you for looking at the board on the weekend you must be love 
what you do! :)
well i hope that is the case anyway.

Well as for an example it is as simple as this...
I made a pettern containing quite a bit of info.  There are 11 active 
tracks and five of them have program changes as well as a continuas 
controller send for each of the five that contain program changes to 
set the corect FX send.  All of this info is on 1.00.01 and this i 
thought might be fair to add.  

I then simply took the pattern and copied it to the next empty 
pattern space and when I switch to the newly copied pattern the 
glitch happens.  When I back to the original pattern from the copy 
the glitch is not there.

A couple of weeks ago on impuls I got totaly fed up with this 
happening and turned the thing off and on just to see what would 
happen and the problem was gone.  Switching back and forth was no 
problem.  I totaly don't understand this one, often i have a guess 
but with this I rely don't understand.  Maby I will try reloading the 
1.18 from scratch instead of loading it in on top of 1.17.  Would 
this make any difference?

Thanks again scott.

Happy holidays.
