Yea strange. I just don¹t get if you can live record knob movements for say
a filter why can't it live record the joystick modifying that same filter.
Cuz your recording parameter locks for the filter not the physical object
you used to modify the parameter right?. When you assign something to the
joystick the information the joystick transmits back must bypass the
sequencer, and from what you say it was done purposely cuz recording pitch
bend was not possible... Weird :)
