That would be exceedingly useful ;)

Well I agree that I can't see any real reason to turn FTS off on the
P3 sequences.. my problem is this: I have my keyboard connected to the
P3. FTS is switched on, the sequencer is in run mode and everything is
burbling away happily. I set the MIDI thru to a channel that the P3
isn't using (for instance, the P3 is playing on channels 1-8 so I set
the thru to 16) so I can noodle away over the top. Then when I play
the keyboard, FTS is being applied to everything coming out on channel
16. Now while my keyboard playing needs all the help it can get it
would be nice to be able to override the FTS say for anything on the
'thru' channel.

Yep, that bit seems to work fine. What then seems to happen is that if
I edit a pattern in Part 2 and then switch back to Part 1 it appears
to have changed the pattern in that part as well. Which seems odd.

Many thanks for your help...
