Yes, i confirm this, but there is a fix, don't go into global mode 
and change anything!!

Keep everything as default and you will never have a problem. I 
know ,i know, you're going to complain, but if you leave global 
mode alone and you've got a completly working machine then 
there's nothing to complain about, it will be fixed sooner or later, 
but until then just leave everything as default and you'll be fine. 
Sounds and patterns are what matters, not how you trigger them.
