MAM sq 16

Getting mine back after a long absence v soon..any other users on here? I'm re-reading the manual and its a fucking joke. Despite having just forked out for Ableton I have a strange urge to use this as my main sequencer for live shit.

Does any robots know what happened to MAM? did they have something to do with vermona? Who was behind it?...I'm wondering if theres any way to get any *support*, like a shoulder to cry on... It's hard to tell if the unit is malfunctioning or whether I just pressed all the buttons in the slightly wrong order.

this gem is from the manual and deals with how to copy a pattern. head hurts

Copying Patterns:
A single Pattern or several Patterns from a Pattern group can be copied.
1.Press Copy From until the "Pattern" LED lights up
2. Select from which Pattern group you want to copy: Keep pressed the "Select" button in the right Select/Edit section and
select the desired Pattern group.
3. Select which Patterns from this group you want to copy: Keep pressed the "Select" button in the right Select/Edit section
and make your selection as follows:
a.Press Step buttons 1...16 shortly to select several Patterns. Step buttons 1 to 16 equal Pattern 1 to 16 if Pattern group
1-16 is selected, Pattern 17 to 32 is Pattern group 17-32 is selected, Pattern 33 to 48 if pattern group 33-48 is selected
and 49 to 64 if Pattern group 49-64 is selected.
b.Press step button 1...16 for at least a second to select a single Pattern
c. Press ALL OFF button to select the first Pattern (1, 17, 33, 49) within the selected Pattern group.
d.Press ALL ON button to select all Patterns within the selected Pattern group.
4. Select the Patterns onto which the Patterns selected in step 3 shall be copied:
4.1.Just one Pattern was selected in step 3 and shall be copied to all Patterns: Press ALL ON button until all Pattern
groups are selected (LED's above Pattern group buttons light up)
4.2.Just one Pattern was selected in step 3 which shall be copied to several Patterns in the same Pattern group or in a
different Pattern group: Keep pressed the "Select" button in the right Select/Edit section and select the desired Pattern
group. While keeping pressed the "Select" button in the right Select/Edit section select the Patterns within the
Pattern group as follows:
a.Press Step buttons 1...16 shortly to select several Patterns. Step buttons 1 to 16 equal Pattern 1 to 16 if Pattern
group 1-16 is selected, Pattern 17 to 32 is Pattern group 17-32 is selected, Pattern 33 to 48 if pattern group 33-48
is selected and 49 to 64 if Pattern group 49-64 is selected.
b.Press step button 1...16 for at least a second to select a single Pattern
c. Press ALL OFF button to select the first Pattern (1, 17, 33, 49) within the selected Pattern group.
d.Press ALL ON button to select all Patterns within the selected Pattern group.
4.3.Several Patterns were selected in step 3; as an example, Patterns 1, 2, 3 (selected Pattern group: 1-16)
a.Copying Patterns 1, 2, 3 to different Patterns in the same Pattern group: Keep pressed the "Select" button in the
right Select/Edit section and select Pattern group 1-16. While keeping pressed the "Select" button in the right Select/
Edit section use step buttons 1...16 to select the target patterns within the pattern group. As an example, when
pressing step button 4 the target patterns are 4, 5 and 6 (Pattern 1 is copied to Pattern 4, Pattern 2 is copied to
Pattern 5 and Pattern 3 is copied to Pattern 6); or when pressing step button 8 the target patterns are 8, 9 and 10
(Pattern 1 is copied to Pattern 8, Pattern 2 is copied to Pattern 9 and Pattern 3 is copied to Pattern 10). The number
of target patterns always equals the number of source patterns; in addition target patterns and source patterns
must be different (as an example, selecting target patterns 2, 3, 4 or 3, 4, 5 would not be possible). Selecting Patterns
1, 2, 3 as target patterns would be possible but nothing would happen.
b.Copying Patterns 1, 2, 3 to Patterns in a different Pattern group: Keep pressed the "Select" button in the right Select/
Edit section and select Pattern group 17-32 or 33-48 or 49-64. While keeping pressed the "Select" button in
the right Select/Edit section use step buttons 1...16 to select the target patterns within the pattern group. As an
example, in Pattern group 17-32 when pressing step button 1 the target patterns are 17, 18 and 19 (Pattern 1 is
copied to Pattern 17, Pattern 2 is copied to Pattern 18 and Pattern 3 is copied to Pattern 19); or in Pattern group
17-32 when pressing step button 8 the target patterns are 24, 25 and 26 (Pattern 1 is copied to Pattern 24, Pattern
2 is copied to Pattern 25 and Pattern 3 is copied to Pattern 26).
