>>How many fingers have you got, dude ? ;-)
If you want 7 out of 8 tracks to carry on playing from the first part,
and you want to switch one track to part 8, you may need to get your
nose involved. I can see how it might be made to work, but it would
require some finger gymnastics.<<

seriously? 
then you'd have to work around not being able to "carry over" more
than five tracks.... actually I tried just now & I could comfortably
push seven buttons at once with one hand... more than that wouldn't
make sense, obviously... I appreciate that kit-blokes might have
different hardware, & that not everyone has got bassist's finger-ends.


unseriously?
as fer finger-gym, I already have to use my nose to clear the entire
memory, don't I, smart-arse? :-) last time out, I started to perform
this routine in front of astonished band-mates... gave up, taped down
the step key instead....

(btw, it's a good idea to do this right after installing mem-x. I
thought the machine would be empty & it stunned everyone by playing
something it had written whilst asleep, under-the-knife, so to speak.
it was shite, mind, but it was still stunning.)


remind me, what's the UI problem? does something else happen if you
hold track buttons down while changing parts?

>>Could there be a bar loop set up there ?
Or GbH ?<<

yeah, I tried hitting it, didn't work. :-)

or did you mean GHB? 8-/


>>The MIDI mixer was added after knob grabbing events....<<

hmmm... & while we still had playlisted parts too. I remember. but at
the moment, it's causing me problems. I don't relate the part buttons
to midi channels so much as, well... "parts" of a composition, or
"setups" for an improv. the tracks, on the other hand, are locked to a
set of midi channels, & I frequently use the track buttons to drop
patterns in & out of the piece (in MMT8 style), as I suspect a few
folks do. can we have a show of hands?
 
besides this, the knob-grabbing action can be freely assigned across
the 8 tracks, with no obvious correlation between a physical knob &
any adjacent switchgear.... I think we need a show of hands. 

paul, what do you think? is this going to mess with y'r head too much?

while we're at it- is there any way the controller values (7 & 11, I
think) could be editable? I like the volume control, but sometimes I'd
rather have a free controller instead of the pan in the midi mixer.
I'm the first one to admit that I was against this midi-control
surface use of the p3 way back when it first came up, but only idiots
refuse to change their minds or adapt.... :-)
