"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)."

I am not shur that i understand you on ths one.  so I have created a 
pattern, save it switch to the new pattern save the new pattern and 
then it should switch with out a problem?  Is that right?  What if i 
need to go through a larg number of patterns?>

 Sticking notes are happening all the time.  Like evry time i run 
the patterns i am working on and the seem to stick and un stick at 
will.

happens? Do you have a pattern that does it all the time? If so, 
send it to me and I will investigate it."

Yes I have a pattern that is sticking all the time.  But I 
unfortunately can't send it to you.  I don't have a midi card that 
works with my computer.

Same problem.

>"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."

That is GREAT news I thank you for spelling that out for me.  I 
thought that that information was stored with the pattern 
automatically with it.  I am verry glad that I was just 
missunderstandint this box and it is not a bug.  One question on 
this one is will the multi setup be recalled with the pattern?  From 
what you said it sounds like it would but i just want to be shur.

"and when i turn it off and on and return to a pattern it changes my
studio quads preset as well. 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."

Ah i see, well the setup is often different for each thing i wright 
so what i have in pattern one is not good for all things that i am 
working on.  Same question here as above.  Will the multi setup be 
recalled with the switching to new patterns?

Scott I thank you for your time.  I will probibly answer some of my 
own questions before the nigh through thanks to your help.
