I just got my mp7 a week ago and the more i use it the more i like 
it!  Still scratching my head a lot though.

Does anyone know if I can copy a 4 step track at step 1.1 and then 
lengthen the pattern and paste into the track at 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, etc...

I'm also curious as to how some of you may be using your xx7 with 
your computers.  I read that some people were dumping the midi files 
and importing those into Cubase.  Is that the best way to take 
something sequenced in the xx7 and edit it in a computer sequencer?

thanks,m
