I think it would make sense to be able to adjust the Global Gate Length, Velocity, etc. after having entered a step sequence, for all steps that were still at default values. For example, let's say you entered notes in steps 1, 5 and 9 and 13. You've already adjusted the gate of steps 1 and 5 to a suitable length, but 9 and 13 are just at the original value or the value you set before step recording. You now tweak the gate knob without holding a step. Steps 1 and 5 are left alone because they've been modified, but 9 and 13 are changed to the new default value.
