Um... I just implemented automation recording a while ago. Just right-click on an automation pattern, select recording, and the pattern will record the state of the connected knob on playback. Record source can be anything, manual changes, midi controllers, even other controllers (try connecting a peak controller and record automations by playing another instrument... it's fun). > So....

Well, in a way, the addition of tempo track would not increase the tracks at all. It'll just move the existing tempo automations on to it. If you don't use tempo automation, you can't just hide the track. > Issue #2 will be fixed with a "drum pad" type instrument (assign a > different sample to each key). Should be doable.
