It's sending a note-off when it switches patterns. Otherwise, you'd have
to program the note off into the new pattern. Since the RM1x can't know what
pattern you're switching into, what you're asking just isn't practical to
implement.

ANY midi sequencing would "suffer a timing glich" under the conditions you just
described: again, its the limits of the midi spec, not of the RM1X. Please
learn a little more about Midi before you slag off an excellent sequencer.
