hi kids,

there's been 3 suggestions for extra switches that would be useful to 
me; of course the track-mute status access from pattern- and playlist-
edit mode (i'm assuming we're talking about a kind of access-while-
key-is-held-down type of ui similar to the one already being used in 
pattern-edit) which is right at the top of my wish-list already. the 
second would be Paul's 'shift'-key, for which maybe 'alt' would be a 
better name, to avoid confusion with the 'shift' already implemented 
in pattern-edit. Robert's Info-button would be useful too, especially 
in playlist-edit. for pattern-edit it would have the function 
FUNC+step have now. in play mode it could show you the mute-status of 
another part.
one i'd really like myself is Pre-Edit, which, when pushed would 
allow you to edit other parts that the one playing in play mode and 
edit other playlist-steps than the current one in playlist-edit mode.
another i'd like is CC on/off, which would toggle transmission of  
programmed CC's on or off for tracks. it'd be cool to have 
a 'momentary' function for this, perhaps in combination with the 
(TBI? ;)) 'Alt', which would transmit CC's only while the key is held 
down.
as things like RAND, CC Assign, Last Step or Volume aren't useful to 
me maybe a set of optional user-assignable keys on the AUX connector 
would be an idea for the future. but i very much agree that the P3 
should basically stay the same hardware-wise; i'd hate to miss out on 
cool new functions just because i'm too lazy to de- & reconstruct my 
P3.
coïncidentally the above also takes care of my complete wishlist, 
Colin; the Pre-Edit function is especially high on my list. dedicated 
buttons would be great of course, but a soft-solution would do me 
fine as well..
