In song mode. Allow usage of number buttons when sequence is selected so if you have 40 sequences in a program you can easily dial up the desired sequence rather than scrolling thru. song mode allows number buttons usage for reps and tempo in song mode but not for sequence. this would be convenient

Also in Song mode is there a way to allow usage of track mute feature and allow for recording your track mutes in song mode live/directly rather than creating a new sequence, recording track mutes and adding the new sequence to the song mode...

imagine a live scenario where you can have your song set up and while you perform you can use mute groups for drops and extra flav to the song.

this would be really nice for studio. say if you are tracking into Logic/Pro Tools and you already have vocal playing you could set up the song in song mode and use track mute to do drops according to the vocal delvery

Real MIDI multimode. I would like to set IN and OUT MIDI port for each track, so I could wire them as I want, like A1 input to C12 output.

Now it can only connects directly A1 IN to A1 OUT, A2 IN to A2 OUT and so on. Or it can send ANY input to the active track's output (wich is definitely not multipart) or any input to omni group OUTs like all A, all B or all AB all CD and every gear sounds on these ports which is not multipart too.

Pre-programmed Q-Link controls over Song Mode. At least this, if HD Recorded (or imported) long files can played aside sequences only in Song Mode. Programmers definitely didn't thought those users whoes want to perform some parts of a track, and other parts want to just played back from disk, like long evolving synthesizer sounds.

Another option would be the 4th type of program, like 'STATIC' or something, wich is not loading into the RAM, instead just playing them directly from the disk. (of course, these would be really static programs, so they can't be processed, playing would be the only action they can do.)
