Well, that's what happen if you change a filter very quickly between 
open and closed, and there is already some energy in it. Try any 
analogue filter and it will do the same.

The difference in the apperance of the click is because the change 
comes with slightly different. The sequencer runs asynchronosly from 
the sound generation, so that you can select any tempo you like, and 
the updates will therefore not sound exactly the same every time.

And it has nothing to do with that the MD and Mono talks MIDI 
internally. The reason MIDI has bad timing is because it goes slowly 
over the MIDI cables. It has nothing to do with the MIDI commands 
themselves.

About the LFO's at high speed - we'll have to look into it I guess. 
Would be wonderful if these things are added to the Big List that 
someone is supposedly collecting here at the list. Same goes for the 
track undo. Didn't know about that either.
