looks nice, though Id rather have a desktop style thing, in the same case
as my P3, so I have a matched pair..

I dunno, being able to send at least one controller per track would add a
lot of 'expressiveness' to the pattern.

that sounds good.. might have to look into it some more.
Do you have a URL for their homepage?

I'm not fussed about swing, and tempo, well that doesn't matter as it will
probably be synced to colins P3.
