Hans' problem is more to do with the relative positions of P3 tracks.
The 'sync' button resets the pattern being edited to step and the shift
keys rotate the pattern around. But once you rotate the pattern, the
knobs are all in the wrong positions. (I think) Hans wants to try the
pattern out at different offsets, without actually 'shifting' it, so he
can still see where all the knobs are.
DJ-style tempo control would be a nice feature, but not essential enough
for the space that's left I suspect.
