Mapping Discussion

What's the correct method for using the mapping screen to send MIDI note information from a track?

I'm sending the notes from a Modular track to the Mapping Screen, and from there sending those notes to MIDI. (I have creative reasons why I'm doing this, feel free to ask if you're interested).

I'm having two challenges:
1. I can't get MIDI note on/off message to reliably match the gate length programmed in a track
2. Additional notes created in a Table on a track aren't sent to the mapping screen

For gate length, if I have:

Code:

TRCK TRK1 NOT1 > MIDI TC01 NOTE

... a new note on Track 1 will send a MIDI Note On followed immediately by a Note Off command. 

What I would like is to send the Note Off command only after the note is finished (either [ ] in the Pattern or when the gate goes low). I've tried a few different ways. This gets me the closest:

Code:

TRCK TRK1 NOT1 > MIDI TC01 NTON
TRIG TR 1
CALC IF = 01=0
CALC PASS 0200 > MIDI TC01 NTOF

This method does send the correct gate lengths, but it's fairly glitchy. Notes will often have a double trigger at the start, and sometimes gates will get inverted or missed. This mapping works best if the Pattern is programmed with gate/trig on/off commands. Using the "Auto Gate On Note" setting is very glitchy, with many gates missed or inverted.

And for sending Table notes, I haven't yet found a way to access them in the mapping screen. Can someone give me a tip on how to do that?
