	There are mix bugs, but they're mainly just annoyances. The main bug is,
if you're assigning patches and changing settings to a mix, even if you
save your progress, you'll lose your changes if you switch over to a
different mix and back again. However, if you only work on one mix, and
save it, and power off, the changes will keep. So, basically, if you only
work on ONE MIX at a time and don't flip through other mixes while you're
doing it, you'll be fine. Also, Mark Strijbos who writes the A6 Banker
librarian software is making an update that incorporates a time saving
feature of loading a 'default' template mix that I initially made up for my
own use. So, if you use that template mix you avoid the other minor bugs
you run into when making your own mix out of the factory written ones
loaded into the user bank.

	I've never had any timing or jitter problems. It's my main machine and I
nearly max the mix mode out with every track.
