BPM quirk
I recently noticed that if i use the bpm/tap button to tap in a bpm it changes not only the current sequence to that bpm but the other sequences as well. also if you're in record mode and you hit the bpm button to a specified beat it will still change the other sequences. it seems like the only way to change the bpm for a sequence without it affecting other sequences is to turn the dial when in record mode. otherwise every time you hit the bpm/tap button you gotta go to the other sequences and change the bpm back to ptn(pattern). just thought this might help some people.

Re: BPM quirk
Yeah, the BPM tap tempo button does that, and I never messed with it since I discovered that. I had some work arounds to avoid those complications, but the BPMs return to their normal state. Just forgot how today. I sold my 505 to deckdaddy 2 years ago, so give me time to remember or if a 505 vet can answer this.

Hey, that sounds like the quirk I posted about

looks like the patterns' BPM gets upset quite easily

Re: BPM quirk
i THINK (but i could be wrong) it's like this:
--hit play on a sequence and tap tempo, all other seq's change to that BPM, so you can just scroll to the next one and have them match up (in theory)
--hit play on a sequence, and then just scroll to another sequence, and it will automatically change the BPM to the first seq's BPM so (again) they all match up like a playlist.
--hit play on a sequence, then hit stop. change sequence. play new sequence, and it will play in its original BPM (ie: unchanged).
my 505 is completely full, so I haven't used it in a long while, but i think this is right. maybe someone can clarify?

Re: BPM quirk
Only tap tempo changes all the other pattern's bpm
Patterns keep their bpms when flipping between them whether you stop and start or not.
