Then Qtractor needs to detect, if the note is send by an external MIDI
source or played by events that are already recorded and also to decide
what to do, if the same not is played by an external source, as well as
by recorded events, or do you expect note-offs for recorded midi notes,
too, when playing a song and switching from one to another track. It's a
chain from MIDI in to MIDI out and you expect a behaviour for MIDI out,
that is related to MIDI in.
