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

similar to programming a pattern to recall a multi, i've been wondering 
about this but haven't had a chance to experiment... can a pattern be 
programmed to call up a new pattern? let's say i've got pattern 1 running 
in a loop; then i switch to pattern 2 for a fill; can pattern 2 initiate 
pattern 3 to start, before pattern 2 loops? of course the alternative is 
to manually select pattern 3 before pattern 2 starts looping, but the 
option to automate this might be nice.

now that i'm thinking about it... i guess an alternative way to do this 
might be the "loop section"... using the example above, patterns 2 & 3 are 
combined into a single pattern; the first part of the pattern has the 
fill, then the 2nd part of the pattern loops. hhmmm.... can the "loop 
section" settings be saved with a pattern? if so, will a section of the 
pattern before the loop-start play before it starts looping the section? 
even if the loop-section has to be enabled manually (assuming the 
start/stop settings are saved) this could still conserve pattern memory... 
if it works...
