I think you misunderstood me, or I was not clear in my 
explaination.  BEATS and kits are not the same thing, either in 
the -7 or the P2K family.  BEATS are sequences of note events 
triggering a given sample set.  These sequences are for the 
most part indistinguishable from audition riffs used to audition 
the corresponding kits.  Unfortunately the -7 does not have the 
ability to trigger more than one audition, and hence riff at a time 
and can not do "Super Beats" things.

At least that's my understanding.
