No, I really meant frequency (I know about Resonance limitation from 
the FAQ). I'll check again, maybe it was somehow caused by the filter 
envelope.

Yeah, but the whole point is to apply one preset/layer's envelope to 
another. Or copy, say, filter envelope to pitch (if you want an exact 
copy, you can just add a cord; but if you want it as a basis for 
further tweaking, such shortcut could be useful).

With PX-7 (which I assume utilizes the same OS) released about a year 
ago, and the OS at version 2.00, I was sure at least a minor upgrade 
will follow. From my experience as a programmer, a *.00 version is 
rarely the last one :-) But then OK, I won't hold my breath.
