I have no experience with an Ensoniq product since the TS series so I do not know how or if their sequencers have changed since '93. On the SD1 and TS 10/12, there would be a delay only if the sequences used a different effect. Again, I don't know if you have already ruled this out, but you may check to see if a different fx is being inserted. If that is the cause, there is a way around it.
