Any clue about this feature being implemented? ---

after using an M8 on the go for a few months now, the different pages for chains/phrases can be annoying - but the 3 lanes of FX, and how the FX interact with each other are really great. why not a shift hold, double tap or other button combo, as mentioned, could be easy enough. there are LOTS of pages that cycle on both the PT+ and the Synth. if visual representation is an issue, there was no problem adding 8 more midi tracks that we have to side scroll through (if we do use them). please just widen the tracks and add a lane (or two) to catch up to or get ahead of the M8. People are already ditching the Trackers for them. Make them regret it. ---

Any update on this? Having more than two track FX would be great! Even if not, a persistent velocity column like the M8 would go a long way in freeing up an FX slot. ---

Just replying to say that I also support this idea. I make extensive use of the arp and midi chord functions and it would be nice to be able to add effects without rendering the notes. On a side note, if anybody can tell me how to just get the notes from the arp instead that would be super. I mean - use it to generate one but then record each note. Thanks ---

That may be a bit convoluted (and off-topic), but you could try setting up a midi track, outputting it the notes to another channel and self-record with midi loopback trick? ---

sure, i could try that, thank you. Is there any way to do it without a cable? If not I could just order one - it would really help me to get thsoe two FX lanes back! ---

If you do need a cable and don’t have one, perhaps you could try pluging in a regular 3.5mm headphone cable to both ports. In theory that should work, no? ---
