Analogue-sequencer

ok - it does sound like using parts is the easiest way to go here. If there
were room for one more request, I guess mine would be the remote triggering
of patterns and/or internal triggering of patterns by other patterns on
other tracks.

Let me try to explain the other question. When you set up a playlist, you
determine how many repeats you want for each step in the playlist. If you
select 'P' for the chg parameter, then it will play through the entire
pattern, rather than change at the global bar.

Well, I had thought that what this meant was that the 'entire pattern' was
determined by when it reached the last step in the pattern. But it isn't. I
have a pattern, which in somewhat complicated fashion changes its tbase and
its last step with aux events, so that it doesn't actually reach step 16 for
awhile. I am not entirely sure how the P3, in determining 6 repeats of the
pattern is calculating what 1 iteration of the pattern is, exactly.
