Is there a way to make a track’s sequence (loaded via preset) snap to the current slider/switch settings without changing the global setting for Pitch Load and Switch Load (which I keep set to Jump)?
Is it possible to change saved patterns / sequences via CV?
Not yet afaik, but that would be really cool if it becomes possible in the future. I could imagine using CV to address any of the presets in the current preset color bank and when the currently selected preset changes, it could use the current queued load system. 
I’d love to be able to program preset changes from my midi sequencing with something like this, using a CC or Program Change when my main sequencer changes patterns.
If you hold EXIT while on the main screen the loaded settings are replaced with the current switch positions.

Page 73 of the Metropolix manual says “Hold the EDIT button and long-press the encoder to remove pitch overrides from every stage.”
Don’t be like me and try this for half an hour like a dummy. Hold the ALT button and long-press the encoder instead.

For pitch overrides, the button combination is ALT and long-press encoder! Just spent the better part of the last 20 minutes banging my head against the wall over this. Just posted a separate comment about it – just reading these comments now.

That’s for the per-stage PITCH that you can program into each track via one of the EDIT parameters.
But yes, it should be hold ALT, not EDIT for that one. Will get the manual updated.

I’m trying to use one of the CV inputs with Pitch Pre + a keyboard to play the sequencer, but I don’t seem to be getting 1v/oct tracking. I tried the CV output of OP-Z oplab module and the CV output of my Keystep. The notes aren’t corresponding and the octave up from the root comes around the Ab key. The attenuverters are turned all the way clockwise.
I guess my inputs need to be calibrated? Is the voltmeter on O’Tool Plus going to be sufficient for that?
For what it’s worth, for me, pitch pre/post was a little wonky. Just using the pitch offset (for transpositions, sending a root note cv from the Sinfonion) right now which seems to track just fine.
Hmm… yes, Pitch Offset does seem to track just fine so maybe the calibration is actually not the issue.
It’d be nice to disable RESET from restarting accumulated transpositions, as I often use RESET pretty aggressively to fit a pattern into a specific window (say, one pattern for one bar of music) and I still might want that “accumulation” pattern. As far as I can tell, this isn’t possible (page 85)

Thank you! I printed my manual and made the change! I have been reading through it and was currently on page 70 actually. 
Regarding the lights affecting the pitch, I experienced this. I had the brightness for the buttons set to 5 (the default) and while a sequence is running, if I engage the lights on the stage buttons (for a shortcut, for example), the pitch wavers a little. It does it less at level 4 and it’s unnoticeable at level 3, like @Qdox said.

Hey Y’all,
Here’s a quick beta to address some of the stuff here.
Most noticeable changes is that we adjusted graphics and LEDs for more consistent brightness levels and overall reduction in current draw; this minimizes any affect the LEDs and OLED would have on the DAC.
Thanks so much for all your feedback! Rest assured that your other suggestions and requests have been noted!
1.0.0.11(1.0.1 RC2)
- When muting, muted tracks/lanes now blink red when muted; thanks Loopop!
- Overall darker GUI; less drastic contrast changes in a dark environment.
- When auditing stages from the Loopy screen, the LEDs are now blue instead of white.
- Decreased max brightness of UI LEDs.
- Fix for missed gates when set to very short length at faster BPM; the shortest effective gate is 0.333ms).
- Slightly longer hold (1 second) required to save a shortcut.
- Minor bug fixes.

will updating the firmware erase our saved presets? is there a way to back them up?
Nothing will be erased with this update

Will look into this one
cool… another case for this is if you wanted to set something like Pulse Div per stage, if you could do this with a mod lane that was sync’d up to a track that way.
There are a number of typos in the manual around the shortcut buttons. I too was foolishly pressing the wrong button for ages until I realised
