hello loopland, hope this isn't too off-topic: my topic: i'm using the mpc2000 to control a multitimbral midi expander (roland jv 1010). i program "msb bank select" and "lsb bank select" controller change messages to select the sound bank and a "program change" to select the patch. these are located at the first note of the first bar. my problem: the actual sound of the patch gets cut off if a note occurs at the same point (i.e. the "one" of the first bar) as the controller/ program change messages. my question: how can i get around this? thanks, rob
