Hi Folks: We have come up with a fix for this problem as Tom has mentioned. The fix will go into cvs as soon as I figure out a problem we're having with cvs all of a sudden. I should say that the actual fix is not the recommended line insertion as outlined by Tom. The 2.4.xx kernels appear to be so much faster than the 2.2.x kernels that many synths in particular serial synths cannot flush their buffer fast enough and the next character coming along gets lost because the synth isn't finished throwing things away. Anyone with an internal synth won't have the problem. We would like reports of people having this problem on 2.4.x kernels so we can put the fix in cvs for those synths. Oh yeah, we want to know what synth you are experiencing the problem with as well.
