The problem ist not the triggering, but the setting of the 
potentiometers on the A155. It may happen, that the potentiometer 
setting is quite exactly on the threshold between two notes in the 
quantizer. If now there is a slightest variation at the potentiometer 
(this can be by temperature, or a simple mechanical vibration), then the 
quantizer will "switch" to the next note. The only help is to adjust the 
sequencers potentiometers better.

The problem will be smaller the if you use the 1V range, and bigger if 
you use the 2V or 4V range at the A155.

This is not a fault of the A155, but is caused by the basic principle.
That is why the SND SAM16 does not use potentiometers, but stores the 
values digitally and selects the values with dial encoders.
