External MIDI Keyboard CUEing tracks and triggering others

Hey guys !

I have a couple of MIDI conectivity questions:

  1. As I understood the 1.40 OS version now supports Slice (and Slots) playing with external MIDI.
    How to implment it ? How to play the different Slices of a Sample Chain with an external MIDI keyboard ?

  2. I have my Minilogue Xd connected via Midi to the OT.
    When AUDIO mode (not in MIDI), when playing the Xd, on a couple of particular)keys : G, A and B in the middle octave, it does the following actions :
    G: cues current track
    A: switches to next track
    B: start the sequence (play)

How to avoid this sa as to be able to play a sample chromatically with my Xd ?

I have MIDI Control Note In set on Standard
If I change it to: Follow TM It seems to work.
But what exactly is Follow TM ?
and MAP / Track ? What do they mean and what else do they do ?

3)Also:
Is there a way to turn the responsivness of the Audio Tracks to the keyboard off without having to menu dive into Project/MIDI/Control ?
Say : you want to play the keyboard (Synth) only now without affecting anything in the Audio tracks (playing slices , slots or chromatically a sample).
Is the only way to switch to the MIDI page ?

Thanks !!
