It seems like if you nest / reference an event, it takes on the routing properties of the event it’s nested within. Sometimes I don’t want this. I know that I can use a command instrument and trigger playback of an event to get around it, but then I lose access to the ability to adjust start offsets, fades, polyphony, pitch, volume and all the other things I can do on an Event Instrument within the timeline editor. A ‘both worlds’ option would be lovely! ---

There’s already a task on our feature/improvement tracker to add an option to make a referenced event route into the mixer instead of through its parent event. I’ll add you to the list of people who’ve requested it! ---

It’s worth noting, for those who haven’t figured it out, that this can be done with a send pre-fader. However, as a frequent user of this workaround, you could add me on the list! ---

However, I could easily see how the routing could become a mess, with the problem of keeping track of exotic routes outside the normal hierarchy…
