Chad,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I suppose that could be used as a workaround. I'd have to manually edit every note's end to be positioned immediately before the next note. However, this is impractical and not a solution for live performances.
I should be allowed to create a patch with a long release that has it's EGs retrigger on every note press in mono mode.
I sincerely hope cakewalk would implement this functionality. Not everyone wants legato! It's puzzling why this wasn't included from the beginning.
