don't bother. what you have is far more powerful. besides, I think the
boss machines give you *two* parameters (pitch and decay) to change per
drum sound!

again with the squarepusher reference...but he has said that one track
would take up the entire memory on his machine. but there's more pattern
memory on the MD, so I don't think things will be *quite* that bad for
you.

the other thing you should look at is delay. if you set the delay engine
up right, you can use it for some nice roll effects. but, of course, you
can't sequence the MD's delay engine parameters so you'd have one
(psuedo) roll speed per kit.
