Re: [elektron] would it really be such a bother????

I personally like the way elektron gear doesn't ask you 1000 times if 
you want to do something. You tell it what to do and it does it, 
whether its right or wrong. You just have to be a little bit smarter 
than the machine. Maybe that's a lot to ask these days.

P.S. you can always copy your patterns to new locations to save a 
copy. It's a good idea to do this before any drastic editing.
