Description

It would be nice to have a button / keybind to temporarily lower the sample rate and latency as for recording midi even a delay of 5ms can make it way harder to play things using a midi keyboard / controller

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how recording MIDI currently configures sample rate and latency, then determine where a temporary button or keybind could apply and restore those settings. Done means the mode reliably reduces perceived delay during MIDI recording without disrupting normal playback.
