This makes sense.

You specify the midi channel of your instrument and the audio input for the 'monitoring' and you can then track the audio in another track if you want to. Additional delays shouldn't be added in that case.

Yea external instrument I forget about that sometimes, in my case these days I am not using midi notes, just using midi for transport control of external sequencer. I think my issue is down to some interface latency. Fun fact, Overbridge is public beta and I have been thinking about exclusively using my AK and AR in this mode. THAT should be fun, audio and midi in Live, Elektron on weirdo overbridge, and external instruments on midi, I mine as well have the OP-1 usb synced to the iConnect4+ synced to the electribe, sunk to the volcas via sync, *breath* and have the CV outs of the AK going into the modular. And multitrack 11 tracks from the AK AR and 8 analog via audio interface. That should work right? :)
