Dang. Thanks for the reassurance. 
I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case and that it was basic human error.
That firmware fixed another bug on my OT where the project midi control page would open every time the ARR mode was activated (was annoying when switching back and forth).
Honestly, it gives off a neat effect and idk if I have a Thelonious Monk style OT now. But, it’s that loss of thickness in the overall song that’s frustrating for the time being spent on each track, and I’ve been annoyed trying to figure out why my tracks have been coming out so lite lately when they sound fuller when each pattern is played individually. Not sure if this is the culprit.
