Ahhh...that explains a lot. Would the sequencer play light be lit if the control track was still active? It would seem that the following load would clear the sequencer, but evidently that didn't happen, and if certain conditions were met 5 or 6 loads and saves later, the control track would actually be in control. I know strange things can happen where electronics are concerned, but some problems can be real posers and it certainly helps when someone knows what is going on and can explain the process. It helped me, but I'm not certain if it helped anyone else. Thanx
