Can I do this in BPM...

Hello, I am thinking of buying BPM but as there's no demo version I would like to know if it's possible to work like this:
1> create lots of patterns/scenes
then
2> create a song by playing the patterns/scenes but also tweaking everything (filters and fx, mutes etc, pattern notes on/off) in real time and having the song record those on the fly changes as automation data that can be edited further if necessary.
I'd like to do all this in BPM itself if possible, not a DAW.
I use Abelton Live and FL Studio at the moment but rarely finish any songs in either as I find automating stuff (especially drawing in events with a mouse) a bit boring - I tend to just move onto to yet more half finished tune and loops:)
Basically, I want to play and jam live, recording my spontaneous twiddlings as the song plays but also I need to be able to edit these automations if I decide that, say, I added too much reverb at one point in the track.
