That's what I thought, but I thought I'd ask.

However: since it presumably responds to START (as in: go from
1|1|000) then it has some notion of resetting (in terms of some kind
of global bar sync)?

I seem to recall from somewhere that it treats CONTINUE as START, so I
guess one can record a P3 into a software sequencer just by lining up
to some notional first bar line, whereever it might be in the piece.

I suppose I'm just going to have to buy a P3 to find out...
