I had read previously that the P3 has a specific OS from drum use. Could someone lay out the difference b/t that operation mode and the normal P3 OS? Thanks. -Paris

Hi Colin, I am frequently amazed not just by the P3 but by your reponsiveness to people's individuals comments and needs - and i think it takes some balls to admit the unfinished nature of the P3 and it takes respect to listen the way you do. I really appreciate it, and it is soo

if i remember correctly, there's a mode on the 909 that tells it to start always back from step 1, or to continue. Either that, or you need to wack "stop" before hitting start from the master sequencer (your P3) I remember having this slight problem when I was a 909 user. It was

I totally understand that with design there are trade-offs, and I also don't mind a learning curve - even a very steep one. But what I find is that some designs (and I did feel this way about the XT which I had for years) are just incapable of giving you `traction' so-to-speak. W
