I'm still beating my head against the wall on this one... I've 
flipped thru the manuals I have, I've tried various settings in the 
master and preset arp menus, different methods of triggering, and I 
still get the same result. 

Before I d/led 1.32 it would happen *anytime* I switched tracks, but 
now it only happens if I have the track with the arp selected, then 
change to a different one. Even if I just go *by* it (using the data 
wheel or track select buttons) on the way to some other track, it 
goes out.

Realm, you said this doesn't happen on your machine...  So am I the 
only one who's running into this or what?  When I'm just playing out 
at home, it's a little annoying, but not really a big deal.  But in a 
recording or live play situation it's not too cool.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but I just can't figure out *what*
Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated :)

If I have a arpeggiated preset playing on a track with that track 
selected, then I switch to a different track in mid-pattern, the 
track with the arp goes silent until the pattern loops back to the 
beginning.

All my arps are set up as part of the preset... I wasn't even 
aware you could set up an arp in the pattern edit screens.

Maybe it has something to do with the way I trigger it... I go into 
step record, put in a single note where I want the arp to begin, then 
go into the Pattern edit menu and use the NOTE function to lengthen 
the note so the arp plays for the length of the pattern. Should I be 
using a different approach here?
