Well, Colin is a tota 303 nut and has put a MIDI out socket on his own 
303. When he played some of his own 303 patterns into my P3, I hit 
record and -hey presto- identical!
With careful use of note tie and velocity accents, I find that my 303 
clone hits the spot every time; so if you pair up the P3 with an 
appropriate module, you're totally there. The P3 even adopts some of the 
cool pattern chaining tricks that 303 lovers are familiar with. But it 
can do way, way more than just give you 8 x 303 sequencers at once...

P3-style sequencing personally. The three members of the band I'm in 
*all* have P3s. My role is lots of wild, morphing, evolving, 
interactively improvised sequences; Phil uses his mostly as a MIDI 
routing box-cum-MIDI looper and Andy uses his almost exclusively as a 
drum machine. I reckon almost every P3 owner uses it slightly 
differently and the cool thing is that, even though I have been using 
one for... hell, ages, I still feel there are new things to try, to 
explore, to stumble across. But I'm a rabid enthusiast, of course and 
very biased.

Hope this helps; your other questions were too tough (and I never owned 
a 909).
