Ah, yes, I was speaking of the MD, not MnM, but it can still apply here.

Yes, I work in direct audio.  I don't have a solution for the method you 
desire to record in, I was merely explaining my method as I approach it. 
  I'll create a pattern or several patterns.  Then I solo each part and 
capture that as audio in Ableton Live. A new track for each part over 
the same bar range.

Then I go in and edit, slice, paste, etc other variants, apply 
treatments to tracks or individual hits.  I can easily mute or unmute 
tracks, patterns, etc, just like you would on the MnM, but instead I'm 
using a hardware midi controller to mute and unmute the individual parts 
in the Live sequencer.

Live actually makes this very easy to work in this manner and quickly.
Record each sound individually for each pattern on a track, and play 
your mute/unmute on those channel tracks in your Seq of choice.
