Hi all; First of all; I´m not bashing P3, it´s the best sequencer by far. And Colin a great guy.One of the things that have turned P3 even better are the interaction betwen Colin and all of us... Something really unimaginable back in the times I got my first sampler ( Prophet 2002)...so imagine the time... I own one of the first P3 ever, even Colin inclosed several of my request features. I was only giving my point of view since I prefer more editing feautures than evoling things..most of my patterns are half a pattern.. so imagine why do I need 8948934596596345 pages of a manual or memory left. Regarding this..We all agree in that we did best music when we knew less about producing.. I remember my days with all the best fx and $$$$$ synths here.. tons of them and days and days just lost looking for the best kick compression...the best predelay for one unaduble reverb..stupid freak detailsinstead of really turn on the dat and jam... I own/ owned several sequencers and still use MAQ16/3, MC 202 for features that would like to have implemented here( to get rid of them) instead of aux things that I will ever use...or learn to them while diarrea comes... Thanks for your comment, I´l try your recomendations. I don´t like mp3 but for all interested on my sound.. please listen to Robert Hood " movable parts" and early D-Jaxx up beats, early dark Detroit techno.. then you´ll understand me. And P3 user used to say when he was a proper dj and a real producer( sorry to say Richie); Less is more...
