I agree with the comment about 'wasted real estate". I have a composition which includes 3 vocoder samples to be triggered randomly during the performance. Each one takes up a whole row in song mode, that's 3 rows of space used up. Which means while performing the song I'll have to scroll up & down to trigger these, while playing thru other sections.
Having trigger pads at my fingertips is one reason I thought about the Force or maybe something cheaper like the Roland 404SX. If it was possible to switch into an extra mode on the Deluge to get this mode, well that would be Heaven!!

Why does the screen display go dark when you are in song mode? Couldn't it display the song that is playing?

The current 'song mode' is equivalent to Ableton's recording mode with horizontal tracks. Would it be possible to keep that in Deluge but also be able to 'toggle" to a clip-launch 'session mode'?
I have a track with several one-shot clips, and yeah, they take up a whole line of 16 pads, so it is sort of a waste of real estate.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. As yet I haven't figured out how to load samples. Once in awhile it works for me, mostly not.
