[Cyril Blanc]

Hello Chris
Thanks for listening.
If you could reproduce it with the midi file at the same address that will
be great

I am not an expert on the A6, for the moment I only use available patches.

It happens with most of the sounds, somebody say that it could be filter
parameters not passed to the Mix mode, and the problem occurs only when you
change the sound from midi.

I am quit angry about this problem because I have reported since I bought
the A6 and nothing has been done so far. I had the second A6 in France
before Alesis change owner !

If I do not get this fixed I am starting to make a big campaign about Alesis
how bad they are now !
One mail to Cubase and to Logic list will reach 30000 Musicians, If I add a
few other list I will reach all musicians on Internet !

Most of them are having problems

I love this sound !
When I want to use the A6 I have to select a track record it into Logic,
then I can add another track !!
This is not what I should do
I could be able to play at least 4 or 5 simultaneous tracks of the A6
