According to the manual, FUNC+PAGE takes you into the options:
MIDI CLOCK THRU MIDI Chan
The "MIDI Chan" softkey allows you to set the MIDI channel for each
track. To use, hold F3, then press any of the step keys 1 to 8 for
each track. The manual page 15 has all the details on this. Each
track plays on one channel only although multiple tracks can be
assigned to the same channel if you wish. Omni mode is a function of
the receiving module. Depending on memory configuration, each track
can play a series of patterns in a playlist - but these are always on
the same channel - i.e. that of the track.

I have no idea here, sorry. You set pattern length using the last step
function - although this can be overriden by syncing to the global bar
and altering global bar length. If working from a freshly initialised
bank this should not be an issue.

Why does it seem not? This *is* what it does. Gate tells the P3 the
note is to play on that step, you can then set the length, delay etc.

It's been a long time since I used a 303 but Colin is a 303 nut. Sure
he can explain this better. Tie works like "legato" - for synths like
my Orbital, it enables me to switch on portamento on certain steps
only. Very expressive.

I too used to hate the MAQ. In fact I still do. It had only three rows
and couldn't send out the full range of MIDI CC numbers. And I had to
keep reminding myself what the dots in the 3 character display were
actually telling me.... 8-)
>Thanks in advice again;
Hope this helps. I really must do something about that tutorial. I am
starting to think it should be some kind of video thing. Dunno, would
love to help more but I actually thought the manual was pretty good
now so the tutorial less necessary. Am I wrong?
Anyway, good luck, and maybe if you describe step by step what you are
doing and what you expect to achieve I can get closer to helping you.
All the best,
Paul
