yes I am changing fx when I am changing patterns.
Would this tiny peace of controller info cause the problem? The fx 
change find there is not a click of any kind or even a glitch it is 
very good actualy how the fx change up.

short period of time ?

It is the same problem there has always been.  When i press the home 
enter button after selecting the new pattern the releace or maby the 
sustain changes, opens up.  It happens for the amount of time the 
light flashes on the home enter button after you press it.  This 
would not be a problem if i did not use alot of very short sounds in 
most of my music.  Mut making electro and techno alot of my sounds 
are SHORT.  all the ticks and acid blips and so on just dont take to 
this type of slop.  Half of the sound it the tight little sounds 
that move in and out.  

> if they are sounding different try not to change the fx. i´ve 
experienced these kind of problems on an old ensoniq ts10 and those 
muting of sounds stopped after i used the same fx settings throuh 
the whole song.

Well after reading your post I took the time to try and delete a few 
different things out and the one that seems to be creating the 
problem is the program changes.

I go in to the erase events window and erase all program changes and 
the problem goes away.  But I need the program changes.  I feel 
kinda ill at this point.  This seems to be the most reasonable 
request and I just can't seem to get it to work.  I have a 
twentyseven page addendum reguarding a hole wack of stuff that I was 
not worried about (excluding program changes on external 
tracks/location 0.000.00 now visable) and all I have been waiting 
for is the patterns to switch as it was intended to and it still 
don't work.

Thats all fine and dandy but I often change my fx and programs 
within one song.  So as far as I am concerned at the moment I have 
been led on for about 3 months now and there has been a tone of work 
done but the very basic need to be able to switch patterns has not 
been worked out.  I truly hope someone from E-MU, can tell me that i 
am missing sompthing here.  And i am not looking for a work around 
here I mean I just want it to work.  Scott,  Aaron what the heck is 
going on with this?!


If you want I will post the patterns but I feel that it will be 
useless due to the fact that the sounds that are acting up are my 
own presets.  

One very frustrated EMUian.
