HazMap Track - optional modes with fewer or no button sliders.
If I understand HazMap correctly, one mapped parameter occupies the entire column in the matrix, regardless of the nature of the parameter. I think it would be very useful with some new modes/sub modes. One mode would be geared more towards trigger fx (on/off), where all 64 pads could be mapped to their own respective parameters, and maybe a split mode, where the left half of the matrix would work like it does today (intelligent button sliders) and the right half would be 32 mappable pads. It would also be cool if the first of these two proposed modes could also be set to "gate" mode (pad depressed = on, pad released = off), maybe in a discrete mode. While I can understand that too many modes can be daunting, I really appreciate the ability to jump straight into the mode I need without having to go into a sub mode at any point, so my preference would be something like "HMTRACKTRIGGER" ; "HMTRACKSPLIT" ; "HMTRACKTRIGGER_GATE" (I know that "trigger" and "gate" are somewhat mutually exclusive in Ableton parlance, but that was off the top of my hat.)
