Sorry guys, didn't mean to sound so flippant before, I use the step sequencer if I need something like that which is so rarely that I didn't think about how some of you use them a lot. If I don't use instruments, I program in MIDI and do it without even thinking about it anymore. Just to me it is as fast as if not faster than running a sequencer or several of them and if I need to I trigger, I trigger everything out of MIDI also, so I guess my opinion in this subject has no value. Again I apologize.
