Thanks ski,
That helps me immensely especially the answer to the 3rd question. I
had a feeling it had something to do with seq destination. But for
question #2, the manual, (i don't have in front of me, i'm at work)
specifically mentions being able to use a midi keyboard to program
the step sequencer and I remember it referred to pitch change as well
as gating.
Thanks again
