That's what I was afraid of. Atom is dead on when he says it's not an exact science. Nice. I'm yet to find a magic shuffle box.

I think the Europa from Analog Solutions has 9 settings of shuffle, and MAB's little drum machine do a decent little job.

This thing is cool too but I think it's just for Sync 24 machines.

Even if I do find the magic settings in the CS, how can I keep using that setting without having to drill down on each note again and jack settings, gate, etc?
The clipboard? Or does that take all the notes and steps with it? Basically I would want to make my own CS groove template(s).

I've gone full circle and sold my first PX-7 and purchased other sequencers and that didn't really suffice either. (MV-8800, MPC-3000, etc)
But my methods in the CS are working, but I want more and I wish it were easier. I want a magic shuffle button or knob! Wishful thinking over here I know.

I really like to play wit the CS's sequencer, but this is that point,
when I upload/download the pattern to a computer, and edit it visually in a DAW.
Jumping between the parameters of the notes in the CS's
submenus kills the groove and the musical idea. Or I am too impatient...
