Judiging by the info I got, there is a lot going on about this issue. On te S.O.S board, gearslutz, KVR, wel almost every forum where Midi comes along.

I for one stopped making beats in cycles because of this.
When it worked I looped two bars, and stacked kick, snare hihats etc. Now I do the fitst layer. Stop the sequenser, quantize or line it up and then do the next layer. It would be nice if I could just fool around with drums as I used to.
