Analogue-sequencer

>>It does. I guess someone wanted the convenience of doing it at a
single stroke and erasing all patterns whether they were in a playlist
or not.<<

ah. er.... yeah, that could be useful. bit more drastic though. I tend
to find, with the long multi-pattern sequencing, that I want to keep a
bit of it & punch-in some new notes. this is easier (I recall, now) if
you wait for the bit you like to "go past" then hit the del button for
as long as you dare, in the hope that you don't knock out the notes
you want to keep.
well....
while we're on the subject of asking for the impossible just because
we're used to colin delivering the goods....
how about a pattern edit mode that follows the playlist? or at least
until you start changing a pattern, then it could be "locked" into the
edit buffer...

so- you'd go into playlist edit & then into pattern edit. the step
display would follow the playlist, showing each pattern in turn, until
you changed something. if you then saved it or discarded the changes,
the step display would immediately "catch up" with what the playlist
is doing. make sense?
I think this is sort of analogous to the way playlist edit works...

y'see, I keep trying to edit the wrong pattern, & wondering why I
can't hear anything changing. I have to drop the machine into pattern
edit while the right pattern's playing. 
& when I finish tweaking the right pattern & save it, the p3 drops
back out to play mode, when actually I want to select & edit the next
pattern in the playlist.... so I've got to go back into playlist edit
mode first.
what am I doing wrong?
