Yep - I’ve done that in FL Studio… https://www.elektronauts.com/t/digitakt-ob-2-0-beta-fl-studio-20-1-1-build-795/73375/18?u=gino
I just think it’s a very useful feature in general (outside a DAW).
FWIW - I also read the some of the docs on Machinedrum http://www.elektron.co.jp/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/machinedrum_manual_OS1.63.pdf so I see what you guys mean.
