two switches for Midi Pattern Trigger behaviour in Pattern Editor (3)

hi storlek, we've been talking about this a bit on #schism, so here's a bit of a short paste:

9:46 <@distance> either way, is one or the other or both of those switches doable
19:46 <@Storlek> which switches? memory like a goldfish
19:47 <@distance> filter midi note input
19:47 <@distance> 19:29 <@Storlek> how about a switch to ignore midi input
19:47 <@Storlek> that, prolly not, because it seems really really complicated
19:47 <@Storlek> that, yes
19:47 <@distance> - when using midipattern trigger
19:48 <@distance> and switch: say: "when midi pattern trigger received, do you: A) start playback of pattern from

              start of pattern B) start playback of pattern from row-cursor-is-on.

19:48 <@Storlek> in other words "should midi sync start act like F6 or F7"
19:48 <@distance> exactly
19:48 <@Storlek> well, not exactly, since you can ALREADY switch between playing the song or pattern
19:49 <@Storlek> so what it's asking is more of f6/f7/ctrl-f6/etc.etc.
19:49 <@distance> yeah well thats just defining whether its f5 behaviour.. or f6-f7 behaviour
19:49 <@Storlek> yeah
19:49 <@Storlek> F7 is more of F5 :)
19:49 <@Storlek> but that's splitting hairs
19:49 <@distance> can we have those switches, are they complex to do
19:49 <@Storlek> probably easy enough
19:50 <@Storlek> I mean, we already certainly have the functionality to start the pattern from one point or another –

             otherwise what would all those F-keys be doing

19:50 <@distance> how do i make sure its not forgotten, cos it'd be a really really really cool thing to have
19:50 <@Storlek> post it on the board or something

preservation of thoughts against irc transience = +1

so basically this is to enhance the functionality of midi pattern trigger.

since its brilliant to be able to already use schism tracker to input notes from a midikeyboard, and have the pattern playback start on first pattern trigger - it is therefore suggested that two (2) switches are created for user usage:

first switch:
when receiving Midi Pattern Trigger - do you start from 1) first row of pattern or 2) row of pattern that cursor is on.

second switch:
when receiving Midi Pattern Trigger - yes/no on "do you filter all midi input?" -mode.

if these two are implemented, it's very easy to guess what i'm going to be asking for next.
