Okay I will calling it “Pad-Only Recording” mode. What I mean is: when playing the pads on the device and recording the MIDI externally, I would love to have an option where only the actual pad triggers are recorded and sent back for playback – not the resulting MIDI notes, sequences or chords they generate.
This way, the external sequencer just re-triggers the pads exactly as they were played, not the generated chord notes. For me, this would eliminate the media beak (recording chords, deactivating sequencer, changing clock source and others settings) – a more streamlined, media-consistent workflow: play, record, play back and tweaking – all intuitively.
Would love to see this considered in a future update!
