My opinion (I'm not Colin) is that you should look at using/buying a 
different sequencer for that type of functionality.  Just as you 
don't have only 1 synthesizer for making sounds, or 1 effects unit 
for all effects, sometimes it's better to have more than one type of 
sequencer.  It's impossible to get every feature and every variation 
successfully implemented in one hardware box.

Yes, you can jam tons of new functionality into a box, but when does 
the level of complexity (source coding and user interface) become so 
high that it is impossible to use and maintain?

It's better to have a few boxes that do one thing well instead of 
having 1 box that does everything poorly.
