Further if as you say one user preset per song, well then that means a user can ONLY have 20 Songs???

Rather silly don't you think?

Plus there is no way to edit the volume of the Rhythm Part/Group (apart from getting to the mixer view - not very inspirational as it takes a few steps to do this and then get back to the Rhythm View)

No, this whole Rhythm thing could have been designed much better. At least to allow streaming/loading MIDI patterns from the SD card!

No. I mean "one user preset per song WHOSE DRUM PART YOU ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON". After you create the basic drum part for the song, there is no reason to keep user preset in memory any longer.

??? Of course you can load MIDI drum patterns (or any other MIDI data) from SD card, and then maybe edit them, and then maybe create Rhythm preset out of them. Or not. That's why the rhythm presets themselves are not really needed very much, except for the instant inspiration when you start your new composition.

Yes but these then HAVE to be put into a Song. Which is a rigid format that plays the same way every time.

Not what I want here.
