Yeah, a pattern is the 16-step "sequence" of conventional step 
sequencers and you string them together in playlists.Parts are 
collections of tracks with all tracks' on/off status and playlists 
stored uniquely per part.

I must say I used to think playlists were a sorta clunky way of working, 
when I first saw the P3. Since then I have used them more and more, and 
find them great when working live. One trick, to make things more 
interesting or complex, is to record into each pattern separately then, 
while the music plays, build a new playlist with different repeats and 
transposes, using the knobs. You can either change the playlist length 
at the end when complete or as you add each step (pattern).

One day we'll do a video about all this stuff. Honist.
