Hello!

I also own an old one, and I like that feature, but I'm wondering if
another thing is also fixed in the new version.

When you use the trigger on the first step, it keeps on triggering when
you use the sequencer in combination with the A-199 midi interface. (midi
clock --> sequencer clock, midi reset --> sequencer reset.)

I often use the seqeuncer to trigger a bass kick on my SDS-800, and
pressing STOP on my MPC2000xl results in a lot of kicks.

Does this also happen in the new version

Best regards,
JohnnyBusca
