Elektron Musical Instruments

This would be very cool.  I have asked elektron about realtime record,
they said it would not be possible.  I'm sure Daniel will say
something similar.  I imagine it would be hard to auto the cc #s but
it would be nice.  It would also would be nice if the CC values would
not act as if it were always locked.  They always go back to whatever
value you have them set at.  It would be great if the MD could record
midi notes and whatever selected CC#s.
