Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I may be mistaken but it sounds like you're wanting to
do what I'm trying to do.  Lay down some drum tracks
to play along with (guitar, organ piano etc). The
problem I've had is that it's very difficult to keep a
steady rythm (even using the quantize function)
through the whole song. Even doing one drum sound at a
time on 3 to 5 tracks (on 1 sequence)I manage to screw
it up the first few tries. I managed to lay down drum
tracks on two sequences (same beat)and then another
(different beat)for a change over from the chorus to
the verse (and vice versa) but I had to keep very
careful count and bounce back and forth between the
sequences in order to get the order right. Does anyone
know how or if a sequence can be duplicated rather
than looped or having to do what I did? In other
words, lay down one good sequence (one measure of
music), copy it (all tracks)to say 8 to 10 other
sequences?  The only copy function I've been able to
find is for the effects etc.
