Each aux (A - D) can only be assigned one controller or event per
pattern.
This is to save space - if the controller number was settable for every
step, I would need to store 32 bytes for each aux per pattern. By making
the controller/event apply to the whole pattern, each aux only needs 17
bytes.
It would also be a bit of a pain having to configure the controller
number for every step where you wanted the same controller on each.

What I could do though, is add an event that would temporarily re-assign
the controller/event number for another of the auxes. By combining two
auxes, you could then send a different controller numbers and values on
each step.
You might even use a further aux to randomise the controller or event
number being assigned, although that could get somewhat chaotic !

I call it the 'step key function switch'.
