Folks, In pattern edit mode, the gate status on each step is always shown in red, so you can see where the notes are. Active tie, skip and X are shown in green, or amber on steps where gate is also active. I was wondering if it would be an improvement if the aux statuses for each

Hi Colin, the display is a PLED. Basically all the pixels seem to be working but there is a variation in their brightness. For example, some letters have there bottom half duller than the top. At first i though this might be dead pixels. But when i go through the menus it is diff

Hello there, I just got my P3 the other day, i bought Sayer's one. I'm absolutely delighted. I haven't had a whole lot of time to use it yet but i do have one question i hope some one can answer. In record mode, when i am recording notes from midi keyboard, the gate is not record

Well, I don't really need to see the values, as long as the encoders are relative. There's still the PLED if I would realy want to see a value. I wouldn't mind spending some money for this feature. Cheers, Tom -----Original Message----- From: Colin f [mailto:colin@colinfraser.com

Colin, Since we've been talking about functions for the P3. I recently had to do a gig with a Schrittmacher (which is also a very cool sequencer), and it has a couple of very cool functions. I was wondering if the P3 has them too? 1. Say, you're running a sequence witht 8 steps.
