Andy, et al: Should we be avoiding Substitute in MIDI control altogether? I know Andy says "Direct MIDI" below, and that's SUSSubstitute (Note A#, 22) but there's also "MIDI button" SubstituteButton (Note A#, 10). > You need to set > InsertMode = Sub > and use Insert for the substitutes. > The Direct MIDI substitute doesn't have the "bugfix" behaviour, > so if you release the Subst before it starts the EDP will just go > permanently > into Substitute (and erase the loop). > > Quantise = 8th > 8th/cycle = 8 (or whatever) .David.
