As far as I understand the known bug in this area, the problem spot is 
when switching between some other pattern and the one in the current 
edit buffer. If you Save the current pattern, then it should be much 
smoother when switching. After Saving, it should act the same as if you 
had rebooted the machine. (I'm not sure of this, since I haven't tested 
it explicitly, but that is my current understanding).

Can you isolate on any other info that correlates to when this happens? 
Do you have a pattern that does it all the time? If so, send it to me 
and I will investigate it.

Again, do you have a preset pre-quantized and post-quantized that you 
can send me, and tell me what your quanitzation setting were?

When you press the Stop button twice it forces a send of all the 'setup' 
info that is at tick 0 (MultiSetup settings etc.). If it is setting 
external things not the way you want, it sounds like your MultiSetup is 
not set correctly for what you want to happen. When you make changes to 
your MultiSetup you will have to Save it, otherwise it will not be the 
same the next time you power up. Once you play the pattern once, there 
is a presumption that there is no need to send that setup info the next 
time it loops or you just want to Play because things are already set 
up, so it is not sent.

Similarly to above, when first powering up it will send the setup info 
that is in the current sequence (which I think will always be Pattern 0 
after a power up). So the stuff that is save in Pattern 0 is apparently 
not what you want as the default. You should make sure that the setup 
info on the startup pattern is what you want (and Saved) by default in 
your studio.
