MIDI Note Off Bug (feature? bug?)

So, when in record mode on MIDI tracks, exiting record mode causes a note off message to be sent. Is that normal? @Mickey It makes it really hard to lay down things live using the ISLA as a MIDI sequencer.
Just curious.

For the sake of clarity, I mean when I am recording MIDI using the pads or external controllers, not sampling. That is what I meant by “record mode”.

Thanks!

Maybe it’s kinda related… but, I have this roadblock when trying to record notes, which get cut-off upon next loop…
