>>User scales and preset scales behave the same way, unless there's a
bug I'm not aware of.
Checked it just now, and seems to be fine... Am I missing something ?<<

erm.... wellll.... maybe we've all misinterpreted summat.... in the
manual, where it says "the root note, on step 1, cannot be turned off,
& will be indicated by a red LED".... it sort of implies that you're
stuck with a root of C for the user scales. sort of. 
 
what I realise now that I never tried doing (& m*********ing ***d*mn
the machine isn't in front of me at the moment) is changing the root
//after// selecting a user scale. I didn't think you could. I thought
the user scale always showed you itself.
probably I've been trying to edit the scale & set the root //at the
same time//, rather than edit the scale & then use it like one of the
preset scales.
I think I've been having a prolonged nagle-moment.

anyway. colin- what would be involved in modifying my 2nd unit so it
has a clock-only output like my first unit? I guess the midi board is
quite different- this one seems to have about 19 midi outs while the
other one has maybe two + the clock-only. maybe I'll just swap the
units over. steve's probably not going to try to drive it anyway,
despite our trying to make it colour-blind-friendly for him.
