I would love it more to see it configurable, like in the rm1x. With side notes, that having only two options: 1/16 and whole measure makes it not so flexible, and having crappy pads (thanks, Yamaha!) would make it completely unmusical.

An instant profit: make 8-bars pattern that can be looped and make 1-bar pattern with break, that you can throw into the flow whenever you like. Of course the same way you can extend the "break" pattern to 4 bars, so I consider it fixed.

I recall, however, the crazy breakbeat things I was able to create on rm1x in no time. I never tried an external kbd for triggering patterns - had rm1x only for one week (being a proxy for the real owner) and it convinced me to get a pattern based seq. Having already P2K I didn't think a lot about possible options.
