Useful for sure, you can always loop the whole thing like always or loop 
any range of bars. In performance you can restart the pattern playback 
too with the mode button, as before.

When you reset the loop points, it automatically starts playback at the 
start of the loop. So you can go to any bar by setting it as a loop bar.

When indeed...

That changing Edit button *is* a pain. I keep muting pages when I wanted 
to select them to play next etc. Displays are vital IMHO even basic ones 
that tell you scales, chords etc.

auxes, tbase etc. are all inherited IIRC.
