Recording MIDI in linear arrangement view in adaptive harmonic context is already a killer feature of SF.
Question: Is this also possible when in snippet editing mode?
I somehow cant get the recording started.
Having it in snippet mode would follow the Ableton session view paradigm to collect small musical ides, ready for prototyping through combination with other parameters.

Switch to the Structure page, create a new snippet and record a phrase there.

Thx, this is understood. I think this is what I meant as linear workflow.
Please give it a thought to make it part of a full fledged snippet non-linear (Ableton-like session view) experience.
I would like record (with locked harmony) while the remaining snippets play.
This would allow to collect ideas very fast and seemless with artistic intention.

There are some challenges but it seems doable.
Recording will have to start at next transition and never end because your snippet may be as long as you wish. At some point you will need to stop it manually.

I am looking forward to this. It will be a great addition.

On the topic:

In Ableton one can define before recording the length of a clip. Once the length after recording is reached, recording automatically stops, while the loops continue to play now also with new recorded clip. This is a great organic workflow.
In SF if I would define the snippet (container) length in snippet grid inspector, I would expects that SF uses this information in a similar way.
Makes sense?

Absolutely makes sense. Thanks for the brainstorming.

Thx for your kind consideration.
On a side note: I am really happy about Cognitones agility and openess to expand to new use paradigms. This is really unique and I sincerely hope you can sustain this as the software get more capable and complex.

The challenge is to increase capability without increasing (visible) complexity. When that's possible, an implementation is a no brainer.
