The update includes the Sequentix ID patch, yes.

That's because the patch image has the old ID, which the updated bootloader
doesn't like.

Generally speaking, it wont require an initialisation.
I recommend doing a backup and restore as a good habit to get into in case I
do change the memory layout, but I haven't done so for a long time.
Not sure what you mean by cascading, but in the play mode the mode LEDs
toggle though a number of different options - VU meter, global beat and
binary global bar position. Sounds like you might have been watching binary
gbar pos.
I think it looks cool, YMMV ;-)
