### What is the problem?

There are not enough FX lanes for certain sequencing ideas.

### What do you want to achieve?

To be able to have three or four FX on a sequencer step. I would suggest a method of declaring note or instrument as fixed destinations for a given track and then freeing up their lanes for additional FX slots.

### Are there any workarounds?

No.

### Any links to related discussions?

No.

### Any references to other products?

No.

Hmm. i’m actually surprised this hasn’t come up sooner 😆

Once more i have my doubts that this will be something we might see on the original tracker, due to hardware limitations and or design limitations.

BUT… maybe we may see it on the Mini. 😊
