Does DirectEMX/DirectESX permit easy hand-editing of motion sequence data ?


No, DirectEMX/DirectESX are host-sequencer oriented, that means we consider that notes and automation will come from the host.
It is not possible:

- To edit the steps of the EMX/ESX patterns.
But from the host you can edit, and record in real time the automation of all the parameters.
