I agree that IMO it would be best for the majority of users that ZynPad would imitate the Ableton Live + Launchpad/Push combination’s user experience as closely as possible. As far as I understand, that combo pretty much revolutionised the workflow to make and perform sequenced music, and many other manufacturers have since taken note and followed the same UX principles. I own a Launchpad Pro MK3 which I would like to use with my Zynthian V4, ideally reaching similar usability as with Live+Launchpad or Akai MPC devices.
Many thanks for your efforts jofemodo, riban et al, Zynthian is a wonderful project!
