I'm not sure what the answer is unless he manages to find time to come here more often. this is, after all, a generically-named group that just happens to be mostly about the P3. it says "cirklon" up there aswell now, I notice.

Yeh I guess it is more of a 'keep the faith' type thing, Sequentix are probably 'shifting enough units' in any case, without having to go into great detail about the sequencer... still feels a little like I am in the dark here though... what is being discussed in the secret room!

The sequencer just starts with 'pre-roll' when something has negative offset. If it was synced externally, you'd program a blank bar to start.

Sounds good to me, globally per song would be ok as well.

I like the sound of that! Nothing like a bit of space-time manipulation!
