That’s how I see it too - why bother with complex process when all that’s needed is to press one button and enter your idea in real time, with velocities that make sense as an added bonus?
I know Steinberg has said that they will do it, but I find myself getting a little worried about how long time this will take. I was brining something similar up in an old thread (about using a mouse to move notes in time/pitch) - and when I quoted a statement saying “we will add the ability to move notes rhythmically with the mouse, and we will add the ability to change the pitch of notes with the mouse” and asked if there’s anything new about this, the new response was “I’m sure it’s something that we will add in due course”. That thread is two and a half years old, so - who knows when ‘due course’ is?
