Clearing pattern should also clear chaining settings -- clear all patterns -- "no chaining" mode

borfo

Currently, if you use the "clear pattern" function on a pattern programmed with repeat and next chaining settings, the pattern will clear, but the chaining settings will remain set.  There doesn't seem to be any way to clear the chaining settings other than to manually reset them using the potentiometers.  Clearing a pattern should clear the chaining settings too, probably.

It'd be nice to have a "clear everything" function that clears all the patterns at once too, so you don't have to manually clear all 8 patterns - currently, the easiest way to do this seems to be to reboot the LXR.

ALSO: It would also be nice to have a "no chaining" mode, where the LXR would not follow the chaining settings you've set.  This would make it a lot easier to work on a set of patterns once you've set chaining options.  Currently, once you've set the chaining options, the LXR will follow them, which makes it difficult to edit a pattern or work on the chaining settings, since the displayed and playing pattern keeps changing.  "No follow" mode helps keep the pattern you're editing on the display, but it doesn't let you keep listening to the pattern as you're editing it.  It might also be useful in performances to be able to switch easily out of chaining mode every once in a while.

good idea.
any ideas how to enable the no chaining mode?

There could be a global chain on/off option in the chaining menu for every pattern - Rpt, Nxt, Chn (yes/no).

Although you did mention you were planning on changing to a more simple chaining system eventually.  If the chaining menu is going to change if/when you do that, maybe it would be easier just to put another option in the global system menu... 

...if the system menu gets too huge, I guess you could structure it like the voice mode menu, where the 8 pattern buttons are used to activate 8 pages of menu options.
