Anyone noticed tap write seems to quantise incorrectly? It always seems to place hits on the preceding step., which the TR-606 does not do.
Anyone knows whether its possible to connect the TR-06 outs to the Analog Four?
as far as i know the a4 has an ext in so it should be possible to connect it.

Just picked one of these up and I have to say Iām loving it!
Iām a bit confused about how the pattern groups work. Mine was B stock so might have been used beforeā¦
Pattern bank 8 appeared to be empty. Iāve made some beats on those patterns, and Pattern I seems to end up as an auto-generated fill - where do these fills come from? Iāve not programmed them, but can edit themā¦
Itās these groups I canāt get my head around properly. Possibly not helped but it not telling you what pattern/ bank you are on. Please can anyone explain a little better how this works? 
The Pattern I fills I mentioned above when programming new pattern in a bank 8 slot seem to come from pattern bank 7, which was already full.
