Are there any that I'm just missing?

As default the MPC acts basically as if any connected MIDI device is set to Global mode even if only in Track mode, as any track has All Devices and All Channels as input with Record Armed and Input Monitor on Auto as soon as created (or scrolled past.) I'm using an external sequencer for bits with the MPC (some generative parts, and also to supplement how bad working with Automation live is with the MPC) and this means all notes from all channels of the external sequencer get sent to any new track I go to, which is immensely annoying (even if only a handful of screen clicks to correct each time.)

If I could set the new tracks default input device to my keyboard, or set the default Input Monitor Mode to Off, this would vastly reduce some headaches of annoyingly repeated actions I'm having to do currently.

The Record Arm is the main one I don't want to turn off on track switching, as this also disables recording from Pads. Surely I should be able to get Default Input device to something other than All...

But I will have a look at this setting as it is one I've missed. And to be fair enabling that each time I want to record definitely would still be an improvement over current operation.
