Hi @Mistercharlie thank you, I appreciate it. I am able to do what you said, but I dislike the notion of having to insert a workaround into what is otherwise a really excellent workflow. Hopefully a Midi-Merger will allow me to send both auto-channel (16 for me), and track channel (9-12) via the same input, such that I get track selection and mutes via Digitakt over 9-12, with the ability to grid record directly to Digitone as well over auto-chan 16…all without having to give up a Midi track to do it. To be clear, yes, I mean hold down a trig button on the grid, press a key on the Midi controller, have it register key press, note, velocity, etc.
I’m a terrible keyboard performer, so the notion of live recording is far less appealing to me than grid-step recording. It’s what I’m used to on the Digitakt, so keeping them same-same without having to sacrifice a whole Midi channel even at the cost of a midi merger, is worthwhile in the long run.
If not, as workarounds go, this is not a bad one, it just seems like it should be unnecessary.
thanks again!
