And to your 3 points I would counter with the following comments:
1) I repeat again, my suggestion was to have another page that can be toggled to go in to an OPTIONAL additional 32 steps, so the size would be no different.
2) I don't see how having a A/B/C/D switch rather than an A/B is making it more complex. The user has the option of leaving the pattern length at 32 steps, or 16 for that matter. Exact same workflow/complexity. Just an additional setting for those who would like it.
3) I think using several patterns as one longer pattern make things more complex because now you have to pair them up. For example I have one sequence that is Pattern 1 and 2 together in series. So the midi clips have to keep those two notes together. Then another section of a track uses 3 and 4 in series and so the midi clip has to keep those together. This is opposed to just having a single note trigger pattern 1 for a section, then change to pattern 2 for a different pattern at a different section.

Anyways, hopefully you see my point of view and reconsider. There seems to be nothing lost by doubling the total sequence length, but some things to be gained. Thanks for listening!

This could be doable but it will take some rethinking of how several things are currently implemented. I'm not sure if this will make it for the next update but we'll definitely put some thought towards this. We would need to be sure this doesn't break compatibility with the current implementation as well but if it's possible we'll add this feature.
Did this ever get done? At least 64 steps is critical.
Eh, this update never came to fruition. Quite unfortunate. I'd like to use patterns for song part change ups, not to lengthen a single part.

Cool sounds though. With the sequencer limitation, this will probably be an instrument I consider subbing in after I've programmed my drums.

But why no NKS previews? And it's made worse by most of the presets not having accompanying grooves.

All in all, decent value for the sale price. Maybe a V2 on the way?
The groove baby, the groove...
