Hi Thorsten,
...fully agreed.
Maybe I`ll describe the reason why I came to this idea and maybe there`s already a workflow how to overcome this idea of a "background edit" mode....
So, lets say a sequence is currently running and sounds nice, now lets say G1T1 contains the bass line all with major notes (C-3, G-3, G-2, F-3 whatever sounds nice), now want to vary the bass line a bit and thus starting to fumble on a rotary encoder to change the F-3 note to a F-4 but the actual step came along in exactly that moment when I´m at E#4 and this sounds terrible. So I thought it might be a good idea to finish all modifications (note, length, vel etc) and activating the step aferwards without the risk to play some terrible tones between...
However...
Thanks& best regards
Markus
