The note range is configurable. In pattern edit mode, press FUNC + PAGE,
then PAGE a few more times until you see the 'note rng' option above the F2
key.
Hit F2 by itself to select the lowest note, and FUNC + F2 to select one of 4
ranges - 16, 32, 64 or 128 notes.

When I put the variable timebase code in, I had a think about whether the
step delay should be scaled with the timebase or not, and decided against
it. The gate length *is* scaled.
But step delay is not something I use that often at non 16 tbases, and in
fact the source code for scaling it is in there, but commented out.
Anyone else got an opinion on this ?
If no-one minds, I can uncomment the scaling code, and the delay values will
track the tbase setting.

Could be. It was working fine for the week or so I was using... er, testing
it out here. ;-)
Squishing the chips sounds like a good idea. Let me know if it does it
again.
