maybe try the 1.19beta OS, some of your problems may be addressed.

List of changes from Machinedrum SPS-1 OS 1.12 to 1.19   
------------------------------------------------------


Bugfixes 
--------

Song-slot remembered incorrectly. Fixed.

The famous mute-bug in song mode. If the scale setup was set to 
the second part of the pattern the song mutes can't be changed. 
Fixed.

Clear track undo doesn't work. Fixed.

Parameter locks error with linked machines. Fixed.

When changing speed, depth or shmix, the LFO-menu and exiting to the 
routing page the parameters were not updated correctly. Fixed.

When playing short notes with the MIDI machines and using swing the 
note offs could be forgotten. Fixed.

MIDI machines send too much MIDI. MW, PB, PC and CC's should only be 
sent when the value actually has changed. Fixed.

The first note sent from MIDI machines when in song mode was 
duplicated. Fixed.

Manual mutes of MIDI machines did not occur simultaneously with 
muting of internal tracks. Fixed.

MIDI note off as 0x80 was not recognized, sorry for that. Fixed.

Inconsequent display of pattern looping in song mode. Fixed.

The sound selection LED's did not always correctly show what notes 
was played. Fixed.

Pressing any of the bank buttons or trying to do a copy/paste/clear 
when in play and having opened the MIDI map editor resulted in very 
strange behaviour. Fixed.

Copy and paste of single notes with function held down could lead to 
the Machinedrum behaving strangely. (Please note there is no need to 
actually hold function to copy or paste a single note, just holding 
the trig button and pressing the appropriate copy/clear/past button 
will do). Fixed.

The octave nr was not displayed correctly in the global slot-midi-map 
editor. Fixed.

If releasing the bank button before the trig button when selecting a 
pattern in non record mode, and then selecting multiple patterns with 
the same bank button pressed pattern chaining could occur when it 
shouldn't. Fixed.

After pressing a pattern bank button while the one hand pattern 
section 
counter was visible only one pattern could be selected as long as the 
pattern bank button was pressed. Fixed.

When pressing stop the sent MIDI Timing Clock could be disturbed. A 
device using Machindrum as master clock would fluctuate in tempo. 
Fixed.

Various MIDI timing problems where resolved.

When receiving song pointer position and in song mode and on a row 
with repeat and receiving a continue the song would be played back 
incorrectly. Fixed.
