I did go into midi mode often to change dead kick to a very like, or to change a beat that I can't find anywhere. Its hours of stringing segments together

I focus on the song segments... V-Ch-Br-Solo... Generally, you only need 4-5 different pattern loops to create a song. The rest is just fills and accents.

What I find difficult about "only" using presets is that they're all in a different style/swing/intensity. They generally don't mix well when you just "string them together."
