Might be a good idea to shunt the transpose field a few characters to the left in Playlist Edit as currently it occupies the same screen space as the display character. I prefer the flashing LED that identifies the length and find pattern selection better this way. Would be good

I can't seem to load the latest OS - downloaded it twice but each time I start to send from MIDI Ox, I get "bad block". Never had this before and I only really use MIDI Ox for the P3, so doubt any settings have changed. any ideas gang? Paul --- Paul Nagle / Soft Room Music Email:
