What if i automate, let's say sequence 2 track 1 volume or panning. Will this then affect volume/panning for sequence 1 track 1. Or indeed sequence 2 track 1 being affected by sequence 1 track 1.

It states in the manual that if you were to have a different program running on sequence 2 track 1, that this sequence would still use the program being used on track 1.

This is fine as I can just always have my drums on track one, bass track 2 etc. What's holding me back from purchasing is that I'm concerned and unsure whether or not automation, time shift, pitch shift etc will be affected sequence to sequence because of this.

No. Sequence 1 and sequence 2 never play simultaneously. Therefore automation of sequence 1 is independent of automation in sequence 2.
