You MAY actually store up to 30 patterns through saving your presets after the pattern is created. I have not used the controller editor, but im guessing it allows you to recall/upload the presets from the MPD232. It will not exactly be "stand-alone" but at least you can play around and create 30 patterns if you go on a short trip without a laptop, and when you get home, you may store the presets on the computer.

I know 30 slots to store patterns is NOT much. It should have the ability to store AT LEAST 1000 presets. This should not take many MB of storage - and it should not cost much to install a memory card slot. Im guessing a small 64GB memory card should allow for several millions of presets to be stored. If you press the "SEND ALL" button, in the "SysEx" page in the "Global section", you get something like 250 lines with maybe 20-30 numbers on each line. 250x30=7500. I believe each number would take up 1 BYTE of storage space, so for 1MB, you should be able to save something like 133 FULL presets... 64GB would be around 8.533.333 presets... Now how much does it cost to add 1GB of storage i wonder!!! But they wanna wait with this technology, so that they can charge maximum for this controller, and in a few years, they raise the standards a little higher - HOPEULLY with a MEMORY CARD READER, together with an OS which allows us to install our favorite VSTs to the memory card, as well as loading up samples. I know some other more expensive MPCs are WAY better in this regard - but i think id rather just buy a laptop personally. I may be wrong, but i dont think you can load VSTs into the "MPC Touch" . And i think a laptop is MUCH better FOR MOBILITY, when compared to going on a vacation with a bunch of syntheseizers and drum-machines and effect units.
