Hey just to add in my experiances with this. I have had a button on my FCB1010 that was supposed to mute all the tracks (assuming that they are all on)I have found that this realry works as the repeater seems to leave some tracks behing lets say it leaves track one on this then creates a problem on the next push where it now changes those that are on , off and those that are off, on. I have kind ofincorporated this as a "randomized track" button because it works so badly. if this discussion continues I may post some of my other bugs to see if anyone has any ideas why they occur.
