I'm talking about being able to store more settings that apply
separately to every pattern.
Each pattern has 16 steps * 4 bytes plus a single byte for timebase and
length, and 4 bytes for aux config.
Each per pattern value needs 384 bytes, which is more than is left in P3
RAM.
But now I've realised half the 'length' byte is unused, there are 8
bytes per pattern extra to store settings in.
So I've used half a byte for direction. I can't really think of any
other per pattern settings I might add at the moment, but I'm sure Paul
Nagle can ;-)

The current list I'm working on is as follows (in the order I plan to do
them)

- direction: random, brownian, modified pendulum, reverse from step 1
- playlist edit record mode
- playlist edit quick mute access (but what keys to use... possibly the
step function switch ?)
- 'keep mutes on pc' user config option
- bank init
- access to playlist hold flags from play mode (could use step function
switch too)
- midi thru note to PXPos
- modified PXPos range

There were a couple of things I've been stuck with due to lack of RAM
space, but if I move the pattern aux config settings into the 'length'
space, I'll free up enough space to have more than 4 bits per part to
hold the PXPos setting, for example.
A couple of people have been wanting more range on that one...
That will need a backup and restore before upgrading though - as it
involves changing the location of data in RAM.
