happens to everyone ;-)

very few ones, actually: about 5 DirectMIDI commands and the direct 
switching between loops.
Also the direct access to all parameters through Sysex, but thats the 
same for every MIDI machine

probably you find a few ways that correspond to your music and/or the 
situation (band) and then get used to those.

also very common. A lot you discover by trying.
Remember that a yellow LED means that you get a different function if 
you press that button.

no, its written in ASM, directly for that HW.
I am rewriting it in C++ now, but I dont think it will become 
available for the computers too soon.
