Elektron Musical Instruments

Tim:

I dont even have a MIDI patch bay involved - I removed that from the chain
because I thought it was the problem.

Its some small comfort that I am not the only one that is experiencing this
off behavior, and It encourages me that it may be something software side
that can be fixed.

Tonight I am going to do some extensive tests to see if I can root down what
data is causing the trouble.
