>>Note that you need to play the whole chord for a given step at the  
same time - extra notes played on the next pass will be written to 
the primary note first, so there is no over-dubbing of additional 
notes.
This gives an interesting effect... If you use 'del' to clear steps, 
the GATE is turned off, and any aux notes are deactivated.
But if you just turn the gate off, the aux notes will be left in 
place. They wont sound while the gate is off, but if you record a 
new primary note into the step, they will re-appear.
This is especially useful with 'aux note rel', where changing the 
primary note will then transpose the whole chord.
If you want to choose a particular note in the chord as the primary 
note, the primary note will be the most recently received note - so 
play the root fractionally after the other notes.<<

got it- I think. that sounds handy, actually. 
but why is the "primary" (what I was calling the "root") the last 
note played? can't it always be the lowest note played instead? or 
the first? 
I'm going to be forever chasing root notes out of the auxes & back 
onto the master step where they belong, unless I learn to roll my 
chords down from the top consistently.

can you make it record only into the auxes, after the root notes are 
installed on their right steps? so I could put the roots in, & then 
add the partials on the second pass when I've worked out what they 
should be? :-)

& what about copying/pasting from a pattern into another pattern's 
auxiliary notes? is there a way using "grab" or "push"?

duncan.
