I disagree! ;) I'm not payed by the author of the program... but I assure you that you can get really great sounding results of it... try a little more... and if you want I can send you a little MP3 demo... Clearly, forget the FL examples, they're pure shit... but I'm working a lot with it and getting really "liquid" and "non-mechanical at all" grooves (well... when I want mechanical grooves I know how to get it from FL too!). I'm sure a lot of this work would be liked from the prog-Fripp-loopin-thing people here too! ;) sorry guys.... ciao leo PS and if I have understood your mail, FL does allows istant pattern shifting... try with Shift with left/right arrows.
