Let's see if I can plain text this instead. Taking this opportunity to
change the post subject as well.)

Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never had a Command Station crash on me.
Then again, I've never really gone beyond hobbyist noodling and haven't
really used song mode all that much.

"Default v1.0" patch. Have you tried using the V2.0 blank preset from the
Blank V2.0 preset Banks.zip in the Files area?
