hmm...sounds very powerful! , do these LFO rates have to be synced 
to MIDI clk? also, on the actual process of inputing notes , im 
guessing you enter a 'note on' event by pressing one or more of the 
16 step buttons then adjust their pitch, gate time & velocity etc. 
for each step individually via the knobs...is this correct? if so, 
is there a way to record in real time these same parameters, for all 
selected steps - as the pattern loops? (instead of adjusting them 
individually per step) is this clear??!! either way i think this md 
is the only option for a decent hardware sequencer with real time 
editing and amazing sounds..........  thanks for the replies!!!!!!!!!
