Re: MD - Imperfect

Hey Daniel, thanks for the reply.  I still don't understand why the 
filter clicks differently each time the pattern loops though.  Even 
if I didn't change the tempo, it still makes a different click each 
loop.

I sent an email to Elektron support about the track undo quite a 
while ago, and I think (hope!) they already know about it.
