I'm using ver. 8.5.3 with my Alesis Fusion 8HD. I keep hearing that kind of slight "flam" effect that you hear when 2 note events occur right on top of each other, or maybe when 1 event is being transmitted, and the other is incoming. So, while I'm going to post this on the Alesis site, but I want to make sure that I have all of my MIDI settings correct to prevent this phenom. I've been doing MIDI since '88, but I can't see what's causing this. Tanx, KC
