excellent
because the sequencer doesn't contain any pattern information in easy record, just pointers to the presets or composers or customs which contain the backing. To get the actual pattern in the sequencer the notes have to be written out to individual tracks in the same way you would create a midi file, track by track. That's why it's called APC (auto play) to SMF (midi file) convert. Without those notes there, there is nothing to copy to the composer.
