that would be fan-freakin-tastic! I'm happy as hell with the MnM and MD
as is. but such a feature would take their sequencing ability
to a whole other level.

someone asked in here before if it would be possible to implement something
along those lines. that is, switch what a track within a pattern is playing
while the other tracks play as normal. we were told "no" by Elektron. but
I don't quite remember whether it was because it was impossible or just
that they thought it would overcomplicate things.
