very usefull, but you must make sure you fully understand the difference between
sections,
patterns and phrases for this. The RM1x is not as simple as for example the 505 or your
average pc-based sequencer, but it is a lot more powerfull when it comes to
pattern-based
sequencing. Just play around with it for some time, try to make a few tracks and you'll
start to understand the logic of it.

Well, it's just something different, don't you think? It does copy, but it only copies
the
section data and that does not include the phrases!

A tutorial would be usefull, I agree. Maybe you can write one for us in the near
future!

Have fun making music,
