Hi Robert,

I have a similar problem with my A6.
I haven't sent it back as it replaced my old keyboard and I need a keyboard
of some sort to be able to work.
I have just put up with it for the last few months though it is driving me
nuts. I think I will send it back unless a solution is found soon.

My previous post on the topic is below.

I am having problems with my Andromeda when playing programs which use
the internal sequencer of the A6.
When using the sustain pedal while playing a note or chord the
sequence will often "stick" after releasing the sustain pedal. The notes of
the sequence continue to play, the notes themselves aren't sustained (hope
this makes sense). 

This happens both when the Andromeda is connected to an external
software sequencer and also when MIDI cables are disconnected and the
Andromeda's clock is set to "internal". So it is not caused by a MIDI loop.

I can stop the sequence by either retriggering and releasing the
sustain pedal or by sending a controller 64 message with value of 0 from my
software sequencer.

Also of interest, if I am playing a program which uses the internal
sequencer and arpeggiator at the same time, when I have the sustain
pedal problem the sequencer continues playing however the arpeggiator stops.

Also related to this; if I am using the Andromeda with Logic and have for
example recorded a part for channel 1 starting at bar 20 the Andromeda
sequence will sometimes start playing at bar 1 even though notes don't
actually start until bar 20.

My Andromeda's OS is 1.40.12
