Q:  Can the 32 bars per pattern restriction be removed (or set to a high
number)?

Q:  In pattern mode, can the box be slaved to an external sequencer (external
clock, start, stop, and rec if in rec pause mode)?  If it's in the docs I
missed it and I couldn't find it in the menus.

Q:  What is the feasibility for song mode to have 1 pattern track and 16 midi
tracks?

Q:  Can the sequencer resolution be changed to 480 ticks per beat (for
consistancy/compatibility with other sequencers)?

I don't consider "styles" a negative restriction; more like a pattern with
variations.  Managing several patterns with identical setups is error prone
and tedious, IMO.
