Yes I do have things recorded in song mode playing throught the 
external channels. I could reproduce something similar, but never 
get the feel of the track back. The data recorded in the song is in 
the very beginning and the very end and interspersed in between. The 
odd thing about this is that I can shorten the track, but I cannot 
get that one pattern to start after bar 74. And this is just in play 
back. If I stop the play and scroll through the bars everything 
shows ok, but as soon as I hit play it will switch steps at 74 or 
earlier if I reduce the lenght of any previous tracks. I have tried 
resaving to different spots. I keep thinking that there must be 
something I can do to jar it into working correctly. Maybe I'll sit 
on it and meditate...
   Thanks for letting me know your out there,
       Tom

What if you delete the 8-
