When I extend a pattern via the pattern edit menue or shorten a 
pattern via the pattern display screen I have to wait for the 
pattern to cycle through before it makes the change.  This is kinda 
anoying when using 32 bar patterns. If it could be done right away 
as opposed to having to cycle through it would be much better.

I also find that 32 bars is some times not long enough for some of 
the stuff i am wrighting.  It can be aboying when playing in a long 
solo or what ever to have to stop save the pattern. then save the 
pattern to the new location change patterns and then delete the 
played solo out of the track before i can continue playing it.

this also is the same thing when i am just wanting to have a pattern 
run for a long time, say 3 min, and just use the controllers to 
create my track.  I relolze that this is where most people use song 
mode but i am just kinda thinking why not in pattern mode?

just a thought
