Indeed they are.

There was a suggestion that 'outros' (i.e. the part of each pattern after
the loop) should play out whenever a new part is selected.
I thought that was a bit too extreme a change to the existing behaviour to
have without some UI means to select it.
Possibly the STEP MODE key could be applied here.
i.e. if you hold STEP MODE then select a new part (or reselect the current
part) each track would play its outro.
Thing is, what happens if one track has a longer outro than the others ?
Should the others loop until the longest pattern ends ?
What would they loop ? Their outro section, or back from their main loop
start ?
Or should they just go quiet ?

The total number of banks and patterns is fixed.
Bars are allocated to patterns as they are created, and you can keep going
until all the bars are used up.

Without memx, there are 384 bars total, which are allocated in two groups of
192.
Even numbered banks get 192, odd numbered banks get the other 192.
So if you used all 192 bars in bank 1, you won't be able to create patterns
in any other odd numbered bank.

With memx, there are 224 bars dedicated to each bank.
Clearly an improvement...

I am doing another run.
The previous run didn't quite sell out either - I got sidetracked by a new
addition to the family.
Back to work now though.
Ordering details will be online by the end of next week.
