Yeah, I'm a bit familiar with the mc505 :) , but honestly never really 
used that Pattern Call feature anyway.  It was ok, but I could never 
remember which patterns were assigned to which buttons, so I just kept to 
scrolling.  At least when I saw the name of the next pattern I know what 
it sounded like...

That's the most sensible way to do it, but you've used a 505 so I'm sure 
you know it's no substitute for one-button-press pattern call (as found on 
the MC-505, the Electribes, and the RM1x), especially if you want to 
change up your arrangement or experiment with structure. Dialing patterns 
live is like editing on an LCD, pattern call is like turning a filter 
cutoff knob.
