I thought the mixer allowed you to dynamically change controller 
settings over time. Is it not able, for example, to record volume 
changes into playback? That is, can't you playback the file and move 
the sliders up and down and have those recorded into the playback?

If not, then I'd agree that the mixer is completely useless.

I will say that I've finally learned how to manage to enter 
continuous data successfully with the MIDI tool. The key is setting 
the magnification very high and for crescendos/diminuendos, keeping 
your start/end points for a scaled passage evenly aligned with the 
tick marks representing beats. It can also help to have your music 
spaced according to time signature before starting.

But it's still a very clunky way to input data that ought to be 
captured with sliders recorded into playback. Is that not the way 
real sequencers do it?
