Not really. The idea is to have the clips available only for those that are interested in using them. They could write all segments of the tune in ‘clip editor’ and then drag the clips and arrange them in ‘pattern editor’. Others, that don’t need / like clips, could still work inside the pattern editor like they did before. And of course there is a middle way, where you can program some parts of the tune inside the pattern (e.g. the lead melody) and create repeating stuff in clips via ‘clip editor’ (e.g. drums, bass line etc.)
The idea is to give a choice. Take a look HERE to see what I mean (well, meant 2 years ago).
