Well, I guess you can copy and paste patterns, but to exceed 64 steps you'd need to be in song mode. Still - if you copied and pasted a second 14 step pattern, I don't think that you would have 2 chained 14 step patterns on the display. I haven't tried copied and pasting it, actually - I have only tried doing it through the page functions. But you are able to get 2 14 step pages in pattern mode on the machinedrum?
