Hi Jens,
thanks for your purchase and your message!
Of course I´d like to help you like the Zaquencer, but I´m afraid this can only go so far.
We provide all the information about what it is and what it isn´t through the manual, videos and the forums before purchase. There is even a free demo to try out to your hearts content. We request the users to only buy if it fits their bill.
That said, we believe that the Zaquencer does have a lot going on for it, and we have many many very happy users. Of course it´s all a matter of taste and workflow.
To answer your specific questions, the way pattern shifting works with the Zaquencer is through the “SEQ OFFSET” parameter. Instead of shifting the pattern across the board, the parameter changes the starting point in the pattern (the two LED-ring dots on the furthest left). That way a shift of the sequence is realized.
You can send 2 CCs per track, so 8 altogehter across 4 tracks. This is for the most part a limitation of the flash memory, or rather the decision in the early design stage, what the flash is going to be used for.
Your sticker is going out today, and I´m sure that this will improve workflow tremendously.
Cheers!
