The original remit was just for a dead-simple performance step
sequencer.
It was Nagle that made me add all the tricksy stuff, honest !

I find people who have used an X0X drum machine generally get the basic
pattern editing straight away. I wouldn't hit someone with aux events
until they get used to the normal stuff.
Playlists seem to confuse a lot of people to begin with, which I think
is maybe because they were grafted on after the UI was complete so it's
a bit of a compromise. If I was doing it again, I'd have separate LEDs
to show playlist positions and more buttons...
But you don't have to use them either - enable the quick pattern select
option, and you can treat it as if there are no playlists - you just use
FUNC+track followed by a step key to select a new pattern for each
track.

The disavantage of a forum like this is that the people asking questions
are still on the learning curve, so an observer might get the impression
that it's really hard to use. I believe once you know how to use it,
you'll find it logical and easy to get on with. If experienced users
disagree with that, please let me know...
