And a very big thanks for doing this Dave, the program is a delight to use.

Trust me when I say that it's like having 7 additional banks within each 
bank because a part can now store completely new, different music. So 
you can screw around with each part, experiment wildly without damaging 
existing parts. You should be able to hammer something good out of every 
bank now with what amounts to 8 separate attempts eh?
And it also means you can work on pretty complex developments - a part 
for an intro, a part for a weird middle 8, a part for an outtro, several 
parts for thematic development, heck with a 16 bar polyphonic part I've 
been breaking into piano pieces and all manner of strange side-roads 
just to see what happens. Couldn't have done that with my old 12-bank, 
4-pattern per track mode. I've not even scratched the surface of what 
the extra memory can do.
The loop within a pattern means you can put in one-off events such as 
cymbal crashes, sound effects that only appear when you change parts or 
restart the track. Or you might 'hide' bars beyond the end of the loop 
that you later reveal in performance. I could gush more. You know me ;)

Haven't forgotten the CDs (well, I had but, you know...)

Thanks Dave, Colin, without you guys our festival gig at the end of the 
month would be much more hard work than fun. BTW anyone fancy coming 
along, details: www.shamania.com

Cheers all, P3 rules!
