Analogue-sequencer

OK, I¹ve got the basic inklings of putting together some patterns that I can
recall and futz with. But I¹m having a couple of conceptual roadblocks I
could use some help on:

I¹m mentally trying to just create patterns, and eventually get to the point
of chaining them together, ala how I work with my Electribes (first create
patterns, then create songs). But I¹m thinking the P3 mental model is the
opposite; start with a bank, select a track, select a part, select a
playlist, create a pattern. Paul¹s user guide attempts to point this out but
it¹s never really explicit. Am I off base here?

2nd, if you create 1 part with 1 track consisting of 2 patterns, 1 part with
1 track consisting of 1 pattern (same as used in the first track), and 1
part consisting of 1 track with 1 pattern, have you used up the patterns for
this bank? (I¹m in a 12 bank mode). I can¹t seem to make another pattern in
this bank, but was able to make 4 patterns in another bank when only using 1
pattern per track per part,

3rd, in my first bank example above, I¹ve got my tracks on different numbers
(1, 2, 3) and am able to combine tracks (patterns?) on different (playlist
steps/parts?) by selecting which tracks are green on that specific playlist
step/part. I¹m also able to assign different FTS to each playlist step/part.
But I¹m having trouble duplicating this on other banks and on my 2nd example
above, have all patterns on track number 1 for each playlist step/part.
Again, this seems to be partly a problem of trying to edit the right track
but getting no sound to occur (the ubiquitous C5) even though the display
shows me scrolling through notes. What am I doing wrong? And can I copy
patterns from 1 track/playlist step/part to another?

4th and last, I¹m not getting into Aux events yet because I¹m afraid they
are distructive to my patterns (much like the random features for
notes/velocities/etc. So, are they destructive or am I worrying needlessly?
Is there an easy way to turn them on and off when I totally screw it up the
first 10 times I try it out?

Thanks all! I have to say that my meager output on the P3 so far is totally
blowing me away, and most of the above is simply me struggling through the
learning curve knowing that I¹m standing on the edge of some huge
capabilities that my neural net isn¹t letting me jump off into.
