I was creating my setlist in Soundmondo and noticed it doesn't have smooth transition between performances. Can this be changed?

No. Here’s why: When you are sending data in from Soundmondo, you are executing what is referred to as a BULK DUMP. The data is literally sent a byte at a time, one after the other, until the entire set of parameters are sent/and received. At that time a data byte count is executed, if the result of what is received matches the byte count contained in the data as sent, you will have a successful transfer of data. If not you’ll receive a “Check sum error” indicating the number of bytes received does not match the number of bytes sent. ERROR.

During this bulk data transfer process the instrument is not playable. It suspends all other operation to receive the data (Sort of like you can’t drive the car while filling the gas tank… the car cannot multitask in that fashion… the receiving device cannot be played while receiving MIDI Bulk Dump. The data is ultimately received in the working Edit Buffer. Once it is received and verified, you can play it, edit it, and either dump it by moving away, or store it to a Live Set location, by pressing the [STORE] button and storing it to the User Bank.

Once the data is ‘bulked’ to the hardware, you can press [STORE] and store the parameter data to an internal Live Set location of your choosing. Data stored in the internal memory can be smoothly transitioned to any other program stored in internal memory.

Bulk Dump is a Standard MIDI protocol.
