Hey all, just thought I would share my idea with anyone who 
hasn't tried it yet.

I didn't ever use the classic/extended mode switch because 
extended mode has so much more control.  But you can switch 
between the two modes in the middle of or several times during 
a pattern and get some great variations.

some examples:

You could have a pattern where in classic mode the pitch of the 
bass drum is constant, but in extended mode the pitch is 
sequenced into a bass line.

or you could use it to drop in a snare roll where the classic mode 
pattern has the snare volume down and the extended mode 
uses parameter locks to create a crecendo.

It's almost like having two patterns for each pattern slot.  the 
classic mode pattern will usually be more plain without all the  
parameter locks, but I have used it to get anywhere from a slight 
variation to extreme changes that make it almost another pattern 
entirely.  I like to switch between the modes several times during 
a measure, to really fuck things up.

It's fun to have  another button to jam with :)

Thanks,
Ben
