There's a difference between confirmed, reproducible bugs and bugs
which are subtle, debateable, not totally reproducible, or downright
difficult to describe. My gut feeling is that there are a few lurkers
of the latter kind, which I could track down with time (but I've been
short of that lately).

Example: the sequencer timing is (for my purposes) sufficiently bad in
some circumstances as to make it unusable. I can post millisecond
timings, upload MP3's, whatever, but other people might not notice the
timing problems, and this kind of performance problem is arguably not
a functional bug anyway.

Example 2: in a recent live set, realtime control of the arpeggiation
timing interval generated spurious notes. I consider this a bug, but
it's going to be hard to track it down and describe the exact
circumstances, which might well be due to race conditions. (I do have
a recording of the set, so I will try to reproduce it.)
