It appeared that only the 16 tracks' MIDI channels were initialised. I'll have to double-check. Or perhaps, it's in the word "play": this may do more than just selecting a pattern (even when the sequencer is stopped). > Even > though a pattern only has 16 tracks, you can have multiple MIDI channels > on each track, thus the 32 channels total.

Actually, I solved this one for myself: the "save" screen lets you scroll along to "save preset", even if the pattern is dirty... > - Where is the initial setting of the GLIDE button (on/off) stored? > >>>It's based on the Preset settings, not Pattern settings. <<< That makes sense; if I get any apparent strange behaviour in future I'll track it down further... -- nick rothwell -- composition, systems, performance -- http://www.cassiel.com upcoming gig at cybersonica, london, june 5th -- http://www.cybersonica.org
