We'll see. First of cup of coffee! :-)

Now, start from scratch again, I immediately run into my main problem:

HOW to create different patterns on the same track?
I can not find it in the manual...

The first pattern is created by pressing PLAY/EDIT and the step1 key. 
Then I enter edit pattern mode (for pattern 1) so to speak, right?
After doing my thing in that pattern I can save it and I am back in 
PLAY-mode.

Now, then I want to create pattern 2 on the same track... That's were 
my confusion started and I still do not see it...

Hahahaha!!! Your wife won't be appreciating it either anymore I 
guess....

To summarize and to see if I understand this well:

1. A pattern is a looping sequence of events, maximum 16.

2. A track is the road where the patterns are played, you have a 
maximum of 4, 8, or 16 patterns on one track and you have a maximum of 
8 tracks simultaniously.

3. A playlist is a bunch of pointers to patterns were you can set the 
patternnumber, repeats and transposes for a pattern.
The playlist plays the patterns in a loop. You have a maximum of 8 
playlists for the 8 tracks.

4. A part holds all the playlists for every track. You can chain them 
so you can extend "songbuilding" by not using the tracks simultaniously 
but one after each other (at least that's how I would use it mainly 
:-))

5. A bank can be seen as a song, where all settings for the patterns, 
tracks and playlists  and parts are hold as well as the global 
settings.

So, in a bank (or song as I would call it) you can have a maximum of 16 
different patterns playing with a maximum of 8 playlists (at the same 
time [polyphonic]  or chained [monophonic] or both). Is that correct?

Sorry if this all seems dumb for the rest of the group, but I *really* 
want to understand it 100%.

I addition to this:

you can have a maximum of 8 (tracks) x 16 (patterns) = 128 different 
patterns playing in a bank if you chain the 8 playlists?

When you have been editing a track and come to save, it automatically
saves to the same pattern. To save to a different pattern, hit a step
number and you'll see the pattern number change. 

Alternately, edit the pattern from within the playlist. So setup the
playlist to play whatever pattern numbers you like then use Edit and
the step number to enter edit for that pattern. 

I agree it's kinda obscure but you soon get into it.

Playlists confused me for ages - but try my suggestions above and see
if this helps. Wish I could sit next to you and go through it. Would
sort it in 5 minutes!
