True, although I'd say the value *starts* from F5 - but as your knob
is in motion already (fnar fnar), I guess it goes whereever you want
it. At a reasonable tempo you should even be able to get there before
the step passes... 

I am probably not a typical user though because, for me, that's part
of the fun, since I am editing the step away from C#3 anyway. Also, I
tend to use FTS and keep my ranges quite small so don't have large
pitch leaps (or wrong notes). I also use the octave controls of my
synths rather than set a large range for a sequence (or I bang notes
in from MIDI) so most of my patterns end up in a similar range anyway.

Do you use playlists? As that could also mean you go back to edit the
same track but end up in a different pattern even when you haven't
tweaked anything...

I guess Colin would have to find a way to remember the knob positions
for every pattern on every track and make the P3 do some maths before
updating the values. And that's just for notes...
