Yeah, I didn't know the distinction between linear/pattern as categories; only in what one would try to do. I got it basically working now in Non-Sequencer, but I see I'm going against the grain using it for this. It's really just a backup, so it doesn't look too difficult to pull off once I get used to some of the settings.
