Hi, guys,

I suppose this has been adressed before, but I cant find the thread 
anymore - and I didn´t find an answer in the manual:

1. While playing a pattern: Can you dial in a new pattern and start 
it on the fly (without stopping the sequencer) before the current one 
has finished? 
(Its not the same but: I remember somebody mentioning you can for 
live gig purposes run a pattern cycling till you go back to another 
mode and then the pattern finishes - can´t remember how that is done)

2. While playing a sequence of patterns: Can you program a pattern in 
a way you would start it not from the first bar but - say - bar 2, 
3... or whatever?

3. If I arranged a pattern that that has tracks containing notes for 
several midichannels (multi A): Can I copy one of these tracks to 
another pattern (maybe with certain rechannelisation settings) and 
flawlessly (?) have the channels remapped and split up to 
their "belonging" tracks: notes of Channel 1 to track 1, notes of 
channel 2 to track 2...

Help is very much appreciated ;-) Maybe somebody else ist interested 
as well.

Thank you

Heinrich
