There *are* weird pauses if you're playing back audio while navigating the keyboard, as if it were a single thread OS simulating multithreading, but in reality the parallel processes still have to wait for the previous ones to finish (which is kind of pointless, I know). There is a known bug with that (G1 OS didn't have this issue, no).
I'm not familiar with exactly what he describes either; HOWEVER when I first load my USB stick in? it takes a while to access the file directory, as it's populating the indices. And if I'm doing a multiple registration performance, without leaving my stick in the drive first to allow it to populate the indices? I get a very bad hiccup when I switch from Reg bank 1 to bank 2. To avoid this? I actually quickly step through all the registrations until it loads up the last one needed for a song, *then* reload the first one and everything will be hiccup free.
I suspect it may have something to do with the small 15GB internal storage (vs the 58GB ssd on G1), but I'm not sure about that. I mean, the sx900/sx700 didn't exhibit this behavior either, and the sx700 only had a 1gb user drive (*not* referring to the 400mb sample memory)
So assuming his issue is similar to mine:
Preload everything before your performance; ie load up the preset voices and styles, load up the user styles etc (and wait for the directory to populate), and then go back to step one before actually starting your performance, and it should solve it. Expansion memory has no bearing on the issue I describe; so I usually fill up all 3072 mb of expansion memory. This issue has to do with finding directory paths for your USB stuff.
In fact, if what I describe doesn't work, I'd recommend dumping everything into internal user memory; with fewer files to index and shorter directory paths (not as many subfolders as your USB stick) it should be instantaneous.
Keep in mind my 256GB usb is 60% full, so you can imagine how many files it's trying to index everytime I first plug it in. (yes I know I said to try to avoid going over 50%, I'm trying to clear and backup excess files
