I wanted to say thanks for teasing this explanation out and that i thought i should share it here as it might be lost on the FR topic. It’s something I hadn’t noticed until reading this now and it’s very powerful for convenient editing/performance, hopefully it’s in the manual, making great use of this right now
For example, if you were to begin with Euclidean programming of a melodic sample or midi device - it makes more sense to be able to quickly get notes in without correcting … so pressing a few blue trigs and exploiting this will get the pattern going quicker (unless you had p-locks on the regular pattern to begin with) - but the genius move is being able to do so whilst in live record mode, it will populate the trigs in a flash if you push twist … you instantly get a more musical diatonic spread rather than the default track note pulsing like a hit
this is huge for building up from scratch
