Elektron Musical Instruments

could you point me to the place where performance synth is mentioned ? I
just haven\ufffdt seen this yet.

as for the sequencer, keep in mind this is a pattern based sequencer , if
you want to play along SK-1 stylee then use a un-quantized sequencer.(mpc,
cubase etc. .)

you dont have to layer different midichanneltracks to create chords, you
lock the parameterdata creating chords for each track.

but of course if you really want different notelengths  within one chord
then you\ufffdre screwed.
