I was about to say the same two things... it's a good thing these 
aren't crippling problems.

Also, when messing around with patterns of odd lengths, I noticed that 
with a kit of 9 sounds and a maximum of 5 events triggered at once, 
the MD intermittently skipped a beat or two, as if it were confused. 
Powercycling fixed this.

Otherwise, this is a perfectly beautiful machine. I'm taking off on a 
standby flight for Arizona tomorrow, and the MD will be taking up much 
of the space in my only pice of luggage.

Check out a file I left in the md examples folder under the name 
"ehud.mp3".
