ya I have the same question.

I have been working with this box for about 2 months now and still 
don't know an easy way to do this.  I just erase it and re-record my 
pattern till i get it right but that is not always the easiest thing 
to do.  I am fine with the beats but when it coms to playing chord 
patterns it is another thing all togeher(I am not a great keyboard 
player).  

Having more peramiters associated with the copy feature would be a 
great thing to add in the new OS.  like sompting to the effect of 

copy from-slect begining/select end.  

I am a little tired so bare with me but another thing i noticed is 
that when i copy a one bar loop and copy it into a existing four bar 
loop i cant extend the one bar loop to fill all four bars, and i also 
cant paste it in four times.  This is very anoying.


Another thing i am noticing that i dont know how to fix is....

When i use the defaullt preset to make my own instrament when i use 
the Filter Q quick edit knob it dose not change the sound till the 
next note is played rendering it usless when i need it most.  I use 
it most often to thin out a fat leed or pad wile holding down a chord 
or note.  How do i change this?  anyone know what i am talking about 
here?


hope to hear some feed back on this one.

P.S.  i realy appreciate this board, it is nice to watch it grow :)

thanks for your time, now its bed for me.
