(Request) Key hold in "Note mode"

[MarcoDjallo]

Hello, I was thinking that a nice feature to have, if possible, would be a "key hold" function while in note mode.

So, something that would work like this:

1. Push some notes pads, keep them pushed.
2. Push a designated "hold" button, maybe a free button from the ones around the grid, while keeping pushed the pads
3. Release pressure from the pads
4. Notes keeps playing until the "hold" button is pressed again

Don't know how hard would be to implement that, and if could be useful to everybody. Anyway, thanks for your amazing work!

Sure, not sure when I'll find free time, but this sounds reasonable.

What behavior do you expect when the "held down" pads are re-pressed again betwen steps 3 and 4?

Thanks!

What behavior do you expect when the "held down" pads are re-pressed again betwen steps 3 and 4?

Which possibilities do we have? I can imagine 3 if I'm not wrong:

1. Re-pressed pads are "switched off", so that specific pad stop acting as if it was held;
2. Re-pressed pads are re-triggered and then continue to be held;
3. Nothing happens

I really didn't thought about that, but maybe behaviour 1 would be the most useful? Like this we would have finer control over evolving arpeggios or drone sounds. What do you think?
