Hehe, try? I'm sure you'll succeed dude!

Aaaaah.

Using ties and note lengths you can do this. Note length is good for
making some notes staccatto and if you want to make one note several
steps longer than others, have a series of identical notes with tie
between them. Correct or am I in fantasy land again? (always
possible).
And that's before we get to Aux events and varying the tbase during
the pattern (I didn't really want to go there at this stage though...
8).

Anyway, the P3's gotta work within the confines of MIDI - and MIDI
does not allow you to distinguish between notes and gates like in the
good old days...

P.S. The 202 wasn't *really* a step sequencer - any more than the one
in my SH-101 is.  8-)
