Aux events are now 'grouped'.
You use the FUNC key to toggle between Group select and Event select.
If you look at the pdf file 'P3 aux events v.3.1.006b31.pdf' in Yahoo files,
you'll see how the groups and events are divided up.
Grouping them means each event is spread over a wider range of the DATA
knob, so they are easier to find and select than when there were 128
possible events in a single turn.

You should try out Dave Jones' P3 Tools utility.
You can request inidividual patterns, parts, whole tracks or banks, name
them, copy and paste them around the memory, and re-transmit them however
you like. It works really well.

Extra presses of RUN are already used for the re-sync functions.
I could put in an 'edit solo' flag quite easily, finding a sensible UI
combination to activate it is the hard part...

There's a 'user conf' option for this called 'hold chain mute'.
Turn it off, and parts will recall and store their own mute settings in a
chain.
