When using Atom SQ as a generic midi controller (outside Studio One or Live), the midi messages are not all transmitted on the same midi channel. Pitch bend and touchpad (mod) are hardcoded to channel 1. Aftertouch is hardcoded to channel 10 (the drum channel, lol). The pad note on/off can be changed and stored as a preset but there is no way to have all midi messages sent on the same channel.
Request: Have pitch bend, touchpad and aftertouch track the same midi channel as the pad note on/off configuration. This is hardly a "new feature" request and is the only logical way this should work. It's a shame this will require up votes to accomplish since there will not be many that even own the Atom SQ let alone use it outside of Studio One. Live and learn.
