good suggestions!  it would be nice if their pitch were also indicated
instead of just a numeric 0-127 value. but either way would be fine with
me :-)

my only gripe: I don't care if leave everything else in the MD alone, as
long as they fix the damn song sequencing problem. it's been mentioned in
here several times before, but if you change between song and pattern mode
a couple of times, the song sequencer will then refuse to let you change
track mutes and you have to restart the MD! this is quite frustrating when
you're trying to write even moderately something complex, as you may end
up restarting the machine ten times within an hour's time frame (as I
have).

ok, gripe mode off...
