When using machines that generate infinite/long sounds or loops, like pads, don't use 's in the sequence editor to cut them off. This can cause bursts (ARGH!), or if they're reverbed/delayed, add some unwanted sound the next time the instrument is triggered. Instead, add one extra tick (ie, if you're using 32 tick patterns, make them 33), and add note-offs to all tracks. They (the note-offs) won't be triggered if another pattern is placed directly afterwards in the sequence, but will turn off the sound automatically, saving you the trouble of remembering to mute your pads. -RDESkid - rdeskid
