I was just thinking: It's been a couple of months since the RC-50 
users here found a "workaround" for the glitch (apply the latest 
software update from Roland, *then* turn the guide 
track/sync/metronome off entirely, IIRC).

What is the current consensus from those who have now tried this? 
Does this finally solve the whole problem with the glitch, or is it 
still there regardless?

In the meantime, I've given several people the exact same warnings as 
above.  I want to make certain, however, that I'm disseminating the 
correct information when others ask for advice, not outdated findings.

Tanx!
