Analogue-sequencer

Thanks for your quick reply Colin.
I understand that P3 patterns are for the step seq side and that CK patterns can be used for recording chords/basslines/leads etc in a linear fashion.
Is the CK side able to record and edit in depth, cut/paste/copy etc as say on an Akai MPC?
Could the CK pattern side replace a linear hardware sequencer?
