Hi Richard,
You just reminded me of the one other thing that drove me nuts about the MZ2000. Only the real time recorded events that you actually play can be edited down to note resolution. In other words, once you record a song, using the mz's patterns, none of the notes in the recorded pattern itself can be edited. All of the editing for the pattern parts has to be done in the pattern sequencer prior to recording an actual song. The actual events that you record in real time, including any additonal parts you add over and above the patterns, can be edited down to note events, but once you save the song itself to a "midi file ", the kb saves in in a casio format, not an standard midi file, and you can still only alter real time played events. If there were events in a completed song that I wanted to edit that were coming from the pattern itself, my only choice was to play the song via the MZs sequencer and have the kb send all of the midi data to an external sequencer which would record the song as it played on the MZ. It's strange, because it would send all of the midi data out properly to an external sequencer, yet it wouldnt record all of it so that you could work on it inside of the kb. As far as the easy record mode, I rarely used it but encountered a problem, with the wrong chord type coming out after I inserted it into a song file, but I believe you can edit chord types in the song sequencer itself at the completion of a song.
I,m not quite sure what else to tell you on that. Maybe Linda or Squeak have a better idea?
