MIDI Keyboard Triggerless Trigs, is it possible?

Elektron Gear Octatrack

Hi guys,
I’ve been trying things with my fairly new octatrack and got a little question/eventual feature request:

Is it possibile to use an external MIDI keyboard (or Chromatic Mode with regular Trig buttons) for repitching samples without triggering samples, envelopes, lfos and effects?
I’m live-sampling things and would liko to instant repitch as I play on the keyboard without restarting the sample on every key I press.

desired result would be something like this, conceptually speaking (4.12 is the point)

It’s possible with FN+Trig in chromatic mode.
Otherwise you need to send CC16, corresponding to Pitch. It’s possible to map notes to CC16 with a midi processor.

Cool with the Trigs!
There’s no way to FN+Keyboard Key shortcut for that I assume?
Already planning an Arduino Mega workaround Midi device for the OT, I could add this too if there’s no way to do that internally

I think I tried FN + with external midi, it didn’t work IIRC.

Tried 10 min ago, not working with FN+Keyboard

Interested in midi Arduino. Let me know if you do it.
I did it with Event Processor Plus and I’ll try to do other things with Rk002 and it’s new firmware :

That’s an useful link, didn’'t know about that project.
Will update as I get time to work on it, thank you for tips!
