The pattern mode is really not for me, I like to make my songs one resample overdub at a time. On my heavily used cards, sometimes they will skip while resampling longer audio with FX. They need formatting but I am trying to lay something down and don't have my CF card reader with me.
What works best for me is to
export the samples you're working with to WAV, then import the samples on the internal memory. Then resample to an open pad on the internal memory. I try to keep my internal memory free for this reason.
Internal memory is less likely to skip

(it hasn't happened to me yet). Then I copy the sample back to the card, unless I'm going to resample something eles using it right away, and clear the "copied" samples from the internal memory.
Hope this helps.
