It would need some extra hardware on the mainboard for that. The CPU only
has a single serial interface.
It's possible at some time I might work out a way to add the extra
circuitry, but not a top priority at the moment.

The Sculpt function allows you to write in values with the DATA knob as the
sequence plays.
You hold the 'note' or 'upper' softkey while tweaking the knob, but if you
just leave it still, the same value will quickly go into all steps.

One solution for that would be a pass-through knob mode, or relative mode.
I haven't been pestered enough to do either of those yet (ducks).

In VU mode, on group shows odd track velocities, the other shows even.
All velocities get added together, and as the result passes different
thresholds, more LEDs light.
Pressing STEP MODE will toggle through some other LED modes, one showing
Gbar beat position, the other showing the countdown to Gbar reset in binary
(easier to follow than it might sound...)

No problem ;-)

ive   bugged colin about this already . .

separate   midi outs   A   B    C   D   like   the akai mpc 60/3000 would   
be So   nice.   after all there   is   4   midi outs   on the   p3   hint hint.

Is there a function that   enables   you   to   trim   all 16   knobs   with  
 just one   pot   all at once?

 for   example ..     twising the top row     for   a new    velocity . .   
and   all 16   are applied.

does this already exist   and   i cant find it   in the manual?


also,   when   touching   a knob    for   note selection . .   it always 
seems   to jump to a different note
just   by slightly   touching it ..   its frustrating   if    ive forgotten 
what note it   was (   it happens and   i dont smoke pot)     i have to   hit   
the    LOSE    and start over . . i know   the   evolver   by dave smith     
uses  dentented    pots.     so   one   click . .and   it   puts that pot   
into   program   mode   but   Doesnt   change   the the paramter   until the 
next   Click .. the   P3   seems   to wildly   jump thru   the notes.   im still 
a total   novice barley scratching the   p3   surface   .I am using it it 
basically   like   My   Arp 1623 seq's   .    a big   jump   having   memory 
settings!

last   but not least ..    the    led    level Meters. 
are they arbitrary?   ive not   yet figured   out   exactly   What they 
monitor.   track 1 & 2's    midi   velocity?   and   they   stop working   if   the 
velocity   is   lower than   say   50???     they 've   seemed   to be    a 
bit   intermitent. .    or   maybe   i am?

anyone   using   a syntecno   teebee     with   a p3??
im trying to get my hands on one. .    if   not    im going to   do   colins  
 303   mod   to one of   my   303's. .    (the one with   more scratches and 
sticky switches :)

the P3   always leaves me   with my jaw   dropped in awe.
thanks   colin!

ow yeah... I've been meaning to ask but I keep forgetting; would it be
possible to have the "countdown to Gbar reset"-mode as the default for
the LED modes? I thought it was weird at first but I've been using it
lots lately, and it'd be cool not to have to set it back to the
'countdown'-mode manually every time I come back to play-mode from
pattern/playlist-edit modes.

I'd be very interested in a way around this myself Colin
