Yes, like the A4 mini keys do, you’ll be fine ( I imagine) - I don’t see this as expecting MIDI workarounds or so on, I see it as failing to see through the full extension of the Auto Channel idea. Perhaps there are limits to what you can expect that won’t take time to deliver, but it is a gap in functionality which one would reasonably not anticipate
Track Monitoring whilst FX tweaking when using MIDI is not working
Traditionally you can play e.g. Track 1 and then tweak the FX settings or levels. When you select the FX track to do so, it keeps the last track half-lit to retain focus, thus allowing auditioning whilst playing. A second tap of FX track will give that track total focus
Now, if you do so whilst using the MIDI out, the MIDI is not played, only the internal track
Seems inconsistent and it’s not as helpful, probably overlooked, but would be good if the same ability was enabled - especially as there’s a good reason to be tweaking FX sends for the synth coming into the inputs
Ticketed as omission/bug

here, externally sent notes from the 4 tracks are still received when adjusting the fx track params (in the halfway, part-fx mode you mention) – but the AK encoders are sending out control data too. could that be the prob? maybe the encoders are sending unwanted controller info to your external kit, muting or lowering its volume??
I am talking only about live playing. This is broken in the same way that external midi playing doesn’t work. It seems like it was overlooked as a new use case w MIDI
Not simple. What if you want live playing with FX track? I think they have to rethink all this.
Things annoying me : if you’re in Grid Rec, select FX or CV track, Grid Rec is off. Why?
I’d like to select directly Fx or CV like other tracks, but you’d need another way to select Fx parameters and keeping 1 of 1-4 tracks active…
If I want to play Multi Map with FX or CV tracks and midi loopback, I have to select tracks 1-4 to hear Multi Map. So I can’t record / play Multi Map live with FX / CV track and monitoring.
Multi Map should be heard with any selected track.

I reported that one too, it makes copy paste between tracks annoying

Presumably that works fine though, when FX track is double pressed to focus it. That seemed to work just fine tbh iirc. I am highlighting deviations from normal workflow when you consider MIDI as the primary source dest.

More strange behaviour with conditions and track scales. Example:
Pattern 1, Track 1: Page mode Advanced, 64/64 2x speed, master length 64, master tempo 1x
Pattern 2, Track 1: Page mode Advanced, 16/16 1x speed, master length 64, master tempo 1x
All A:B Conditional locks on Pattern 2, Track 1 following on from Pattern 1 without stopping occur a bar early.
But if I change Pattern 1’s master tempo to 2x and master length to 128 so it plays exactly the same, the conditional locks on pattern 2 work as they should.
Anyone else come across this and is it a bug or am I missing something?

I can confirm that what you observe is true. I see the same behaviour using simple test case of 1:2 - it plays fine on Pattern 1 and Pattern 2 when they are played individually, but as soon as they are chained, there is this anomaly whereby the first pass of pattern 2 is not serving up the 1:2 it plays on the second pass
It certainly feels like a bug, there’s a bit of a discussion somewhere relating to TRC strangeness following Track scale introduction
To remedy/illustrate the issue, if you change Pattern 1 to 1x it will play normally in a chain.
There’s something about the way that TRCs are accounted for that is sensitive to Scale and Master too - but irrespective, this feels like it’s undesirable, especially if there’s no way to rationalise this and predict what will happen
You should report this as a bug IMHO (please say if you do and please feedback the general response)
