======================

i should probably clarify that what i was after is more like changing 
patterns on a drum machine, not necessarily the "styles" function of the 
RM1x... but what i came up with allows functionality based on both 
(depending on how it's all programmed).

and, a neat trick which was conceptually proven with a PC-1600x last night 
is that it's possible to use "button sends fader" to send the 
pattern-change strings to the xx7. and with 16 sliders/buttons on the 
1600, that allows 8 sliders/buttons (one per pattern bank) to send pattern 
changes and the other 8 to send mute-hold pattern changes. an extreme 
example, but it should give ya'll some ideas...
