Yah you are right that it can be patched another way by not using MIDI learn. My line of thinking was that this doesn't seem to be a complex change to MIDI learn, involves 1 more byte field for NOTE messages and it could have other uses than my use-case scenario. It may very well be a pain to code, as these things go (I'm a .NET developer and understand how things can play out in real code).
The ease of use of MIDI learn solves a substantial number of control problems and I love how it works. Soooo much easier than wiring up things every time. I change my physical control surface layout often to be specific for a gig. The colored buttons really really help. I mostly use Usine when setting up for a gig or for song inspiration and not for leisure programming joy. So anything that makes it a little quicker for me is awesome. I figured that the suggested change would not make it more complicated other than adding one more parameter that is available in many of the other MIDI modules and that it would be an intuitive change.
I will work on making a suitable solution another way as time permits. Doing it in a subpatch is a good idea. I also want to dig into fastscript, then SDK, and I might just do it with this particular problem.
