1) I have a sustained bass sound spread across all 16 pads (16 Level) at different tune settings to emulate that deep bass sound. So as I'm recording a sequence, I want to have 2/16 notes play one sound and than move to the other sound for the remaining 2/16 notes of that 4 note bar. The only way I can transition cleanly between the two notes is if I keep the first note I used pressed while I press the other note otherwise it doesn't sustain. Is this a bug and have others ran into this?

2) I use the Q-Link Slider to set the attack of the bass sound mentioned above. When use the 16 Level function you can hear the differences in tune as I recorded them but when I press AFTER to modify the attack, all the sounds come out in one tune. Whats up with that?

I got excited to discover the new technique of unlooking the loop function to sustain a bass sound using the constant portion of a sample. Although at first you can hear the clicking and skipping where the loop ends/begins and repeats... once I filtered the bass and had that deep sound without interuption as I wanted but the above quirks take away from this discovery (at least a discovery to me).

Sounds to me as if you are just not recording the right duration. Maybe you let go of the first pad too early before hitting the second, so a gap results in between. Try adjusting the Duration "D" in Step Edit to the right value after recording, so that the notes are exactly 2/16 (or rather 2/4?) long.

Should be something like 192...
