Getting The Most From Recording

I feel like I’m missing out on tracker workflow shortcuts, trying to make jungle on the S2400 sequencer. The type of variations and fills that jungle/D&B call for are quite tedious to program on the 2400. If I were to buy Renoise I would literally only be using its sequencing features to trigger external gear. Does it excel at that? I am still watching videos and don’t fully understand how to structure a full song with trackers (having never used one) but I feel like I’m missing a trick. Are there any downsides? I use ‘midi input focus’ all the time on the 2400 with a keystep 37 and would miss that simple workflow of switching synths with a button press and easy recording. I assume that can all be done within Renoise as well.
