It applies all the time.
If you select 'any' as record channel, nothing passes through except in
record mode with mthru on.

The reason it's not practical is because there isn't enough RAM left to keep
track of the held notes on all 16 channels.
Potentially I could track the notes on a single output channel, if the thru
setting was set to channelise all input other than the record channel.
But that may not be much use depending on your situation.
Another possiblity would be an option to pass the record channel through,
including PXPos, all the time.
Then you could set the record channel to be the MAQs output channel, and use
a quick burst of record mode on a track to set the desired output channel.
That would mean not being able to record from a keyboard whilst transposing
and FTSing the MAQ though.

If you find someone else to agree, and no-one to disagree, I can change it.

No, STEP MODE.
Normally switching from GATE to TIE, you would press and *release* the STEP
MODE key.
Then you'd turn on tie on some steps, before pressing STEP MODE three times
to get back to GATE.

Now if you press and *hold* STEP MODE from GATE mode, you will switch to TIE
and if you enable or disable the ties on any steps while the STEP MODE key
is held, when you release the STEP MODE key, it will jump back to GATE.
A future extension of this shortcut may include multiple-key stretching of
notes with tie.
