correction, patterns that go into a multitrack pattern don't have to be the same length or tempo. don't know about cross-pasting different time signatures though

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.
