Hi all,

I've had my P3 for a week now and I've found that its very easy to 
use (despite my initial confusion - RTFM helped). Its an excellent 
machine and I'm very impressed and pleased with it !! 

Now onto my current confusion - hope this makes sense. I was 
wondering whether there is any way of preventing step/knob values 
from jumping to their current position when editing notes, etc. For 
example, if I am editing pattern 1 and set step 1 to have a note 
value of C#3 and then leave this pattern and change step one in 
pattern 2 to be F5, when I return to pattern 1 and move the knob the 
value jumps to F5. 

I immediately assumed that as the combination FUNC+StepKey showed the 
current value of a step, that FUNC+Knob would lock the current step 
value until it is released (while also displaying the current value 
of the knob as it turns). I'm sure I have another machine that does 
this (can't remember which one).  

I've looked through the manual to see if there is any mention of this 
type of function but I couldn't spot one. Does it exist or has nobody 
had this requirement before ?

Cheers

Simon
