Yea I really don't get why you cant record the joystick since you are
modifying parameters that are possible to record by other means.  I don't
have my mono yet but one would think if you are manipulating a filter by
moving the joystick say left why couldn¹t it record parameter locks for the
filter as if you were turning the filter knob? Maybe I'm not understanding
how things work. To me it seems like a no brainer to have it record but I
guess there are reasons for not having the ability. Especially since you can
use any joystick/pichbend controller to send info to change parameters, how
is this different in that it doesn¹t record parameter change info?
