I noticed this last night again while working on the XL-7, something I had 
meant to bring up before.  Can you guys group the Pattern Edit menu 
options in a bit more logical fashion so that similiar screens are 
sequential?  Seems like they're kinda all over the place.  For instance, 
to me it makes sense to do the following (IMHO):

- leave Pattern Name first, that one makes sense.
- put Extend Sequence Data right after the Pattern Length screen, since 
those two can be used together a lot.
- Follow that up with Channel Assign.
- Put the Scale/Offset Duration right after Scale/Offset Velocity (and 
before Shift Track, hint hint).
- Leave Revert To Saved at the end, makes it easy to scroll to in the 
middle of editing and fixing bad takes.

Anyway, just some idea.  I think that overall it'd be good to see the 
Pattern setup and basic parameters screens come first, followed by all of 
the editing options, finally the list modes and Revert.
