>>Do you find the V4 to be an improvement in terms of functionality?<< "improvement"'s not the right word... it's different, & permits a different approach to structuring one's compositions. at first, I didn't like it & quickly rolled back to v3. later, I went at it again with renewed vigour & determination. I put in the memory expansion too. I think what's needed here is a pictorial representation of how the memory of the machine is divided up. you can do a lot worse than look at the p3tools s/w to see this. that's what turned me around (& for which, many thanks!). as regards the patterns themselves, they work pretty much the same. it's when you start extending beyond a single 16-step "riff" & making longer patterns, or copy/pasting things to edit, that the difference really becomes apparent. ironically, the v4 approach means less memory is wasted by transposed copied patterns, since you can now use ghosts. I think I'd still be stuck in v3 if it supported the mem-x, but v4 works for me now I've got my head round it. d.
