Question regarding midi sends on midi track

But that’s exactly the “Catch 22”… the only way it would not come from playback is if it either hadn’t been recorded (therefore, Transformer FX in Pre), or if it were filtered out on playback (Transformer FX in Post). But you’ve already seen that for it not to get recorded, it also doesn’t get sent out when record-enabled. And for it to get filtered out on Playback (Transform FX in Post), the Send would have to be not in Record mode (i.e; Post also).
