I'm thinking with 32 channels of sequencing on this I can probably get 
around that by having each pattern be multiple patterns and then muting 
and unmuting groups (somehow channels can be grouped but I've not 
figured that out yet...)

On my Roland I rarely made patterns more than 8 bars for that reason.  
It didn't seem to bother me much.

Also, the Command Station has additional tracks that can happen 
parallel to your patterns for extra song length information.  Dat's da 
bomb.  I loved that about my Ensonic TS-10 and have missed it ever 
since.
