Analogue-sequencer

Hi again

I am really interested in the P3 as a semi improvisational tool/random generator and am wondering how it will work in practise. I don't want to just play patterns i prepared earlier - but nor do I want total chaos. Its difficult without seeing one to know how immediate the P3 can be on stage/in the heat of the moment. For example;  

Can i play notes from a masterkeyboard (actually in my case a wind controller or a buchla lightening) thru the P3 and then easily decide to grab a group of notes for a sequence or an arpeggio on the fly? Can I randomise then this pattern without stopping it?

will the p3 the input from a master keyboard and output both sequence/arp data and the keyboard data. 

can I easily randomise an arpeggio on the fly? 

can i easily change ALL the notes in a sequence from a masterkeyboard without stopping playing?

If I just want to change a couple of pitches in a sequence can i go straight to it or do i have to go through a dozen menus first ? :)

please note the use of the words "easily" and "without stopping"- ultimately I can do most of this kind of thing on my nord G2/Akai MPC400 but not "easily" or spontaniously:) The next box i buy needs to be FUN !!
