using matrix buttons as launchpads

[zelota]

hello, i'm wondering if it is possible to use marix buttons to control DAW actions, like switching devices on/off, launching samples etc.
as far as i figured out, matrix buttons does not send any external midi signal... or am i wrong?

You're right, the matrix buttons do not send MIDI.

I understand that the "link" button links the pattern with the preset, but say I'm on Preset A02, link button off.  I select Sequence, there is one present already.  So I hold down Pattern and click A03.  Now my sequence is blank.  I make a sequence.  How do I save this sequence to slot A03, while I'm on Preset A02, without overwriting A03's preset patch?
