Quantised pattern changes

So I'm 99% sure this isn't currently possible (hopefully, maybe a future update?)

Existing functionality:

  • Queue a pattern while another pattern is playing, the queued pattern will play when the current one finishes.
  • Sub Pad + Pattern pad will launch the new pattern immediately, with no quantisation.

What I really want is quantised arbitrary pattern changes. Queue up the next pattern and it switches to that on (for example) the next bar change. Could be a setting for the Sub Pad modifier.

Context: I mainly use my 404ii in pattern mode as a stripped down Ableton, for live performance.
