I have seen a few comments where people say it is pretty easy to get started using a P3 as a basic step sequencer. Is there a quick-start guide that outlines this or do I just have to dig through the manual? I'm more of a fan of playing with something to learn it, but sometimes R

Just wanted to say thanks Colin for the updated manual! Good job man. I have the old 3.1.005 version manual and this latest makes it a lot easier to just learn the functions/operation of the P3, the diagrams really help. --- In analogue-sequencer@yahoogroups.com, "colinfraser_com

Colin, I take your point about the 3 character display which is why I suggested 'C -' (rather than 'C -1'). Obviously without 4 characters the range choice would be between 'C -' to 'G 9' (middle C4) or the current 'C 0' to 'G X'(middle C5). A large part of this request is perhap

I've noticed when my P3 is running after a few minutes it begins to stall when it's running an 8-note sequence, it will miss note-8 then 3 then 5 then 8 again, even if i skip notes it still stalls. I tried running a sequence on 12 and 16 and no-change ? I'm just wondering if it n

Colin, I know the subject of midi note name (and the lack of standardization thereof) has been touched apon before and currently the P3 notes are named 'C 0' to 'G X' with middle C (midi #60) reading as C5. Would it be possible to setup a selection in the user conf section to cha
