People have said cs is glitchy but whenever I have ever found the cs to be glitchy it was always found later to be user error. Lol. Like when I thought song mode was crap because I couldn't figure out how to repeat a pattern in a song without the track mutes. Or when I would save over a patch and it would break a pattern making it sound horrible. Or when it would get stuck in audition. Mode because I didn't know what it was and would have to reboot it to get it to stop lol.
