The grid editor will do 32nds, as will the step editor. (Actually, the
step editor will do 32-triplets, which is finer.) I presume the
realtime recording is higher resolution; the editor itself is 384ppqn.

I don't know who this is a follow-up to, since...

...I didn't write this.

Personally I find the sequencer (the editor itself, as opposed to the
grid system) rather primitive and limited, but it's not too bad for
something with a 20x2 screen, and sometimes a simple, physical
interface is more productive than the multimedia virtual reality that
passes for a lot of computer sequencer interfaces these days.
