you are right. :) read paul's P3 user guide too, to get a taste of what
this machine is capable of letting us do...

as a former user of *all* of the above sequencers, i guarantee you will
*love* the P3... it's fairly easy to get into all the basic functions, but
things can get a conceptually hairy when you start messing around with
auxilliary events... but with enough thinknig and patience you'll get it
and become severely addicted...

the thing i love most about it, i think, is that there are so many ways to
do something... in the track i'm currently working on, i used sculpt,
random, real-time record, variable note ranges per track, and different
playlists on each track... this is all real basic stuff, but for each
track I did something different because that's what the music called
for... the P3 really gets out of the way of your creativity and lets you
manipulate and *play* your sequences like nothing else...

that would be nice, but skip does take care of it... and you can, of
course, have the P3 control it's own skipping madness... in about 40
different ways... :)

let the drooling begin...

bleep.
out.
