Just to clarify something about my last post.  The problem when you 
are editing a pattern on the MD in song mode is that you only have a 
split second to make changes to any particular pattern in the song 
while it's playing.  For example let's say you have a song which 
just loops 4 patterns, one after the other.  If you are in song mode 
and working on pattern 1, as soon as the song trigs pattern 2 you 
can't work on pattern 1 anymore because it changes the pattern 
editor to pattern 2.  So you have to be really quick and punch in 
your changes before it switches to pattern 2 (which you're don't 
want to work on yet).  I think that's the gripe Joe has too.  
Sometimes you just want to sit back, and listen to a long section on 
your tune, but keep the editing focus on a single pattern in that 
song, so when you make changes to that one pattern you immediately 
hear it within the larger context of the whole track.  Apparently 
with the MD this working style is not possible.
