Honestly, I feel like a complete idiot. I KNOW this should be so simple. I cannot get my sequences to play. I understand that I create a pattern for each position. But when I hit play, no matter what mode I'm in, all I hear is the A1 pattern. No matter what. Can somebody please, tell a blonde how the hell do I get the sequencer to queue up and play the darned patterns I create?? I have wasted hours trying everything. My system is Dell dual core/Vista. New this summer so tons of RAM, memory etc. Blessings

You are true, it is quite simple. For the first you need to create some patterns in one bank. Then set "bank range" to number you desire (1 to 8). Then you need to switch button to play whole "song" or sequence. This is the 2nd button from 4 ones that are next to "play", "record" and "stop" buttons. It looks like "loop" or something like that :).
If you want to switch back to play only one pattern, then just press the 1st button from these four.
