**Current behavior seems to be:**

1. Hit play
2. Play Hapax pads or external MIDI controller
3. Hit stop while pressing Hapax or MIDI controller note
4. Note **stops**

**Desired behavior:**  
1-3. Same as above  
4. Note **continues**

Is there a setting to change to this desired behavior?

Stopping the programmed notes makes sense, but sometimes I want to play a manual parts without the sequencer running. And often continuing that sustained note helps with the transition.

Definitely, I’d like to know a workaround for this.
