Possible third option?

16 triggers isn't only useful for drums. If you have something that has attenuated inputs (Akemie's Taiko), if you hold a trigger high (FF), you can use it to switch between two states which is effectively the same as controlling two positions on 16 knobs. Use the attenuators to create the voltage that you need.
You could add a held trigger it to an oscillator's pitch CV to make a root (key) note transposition. You'd need to attenuate the trigger voltage down to create the required interval).

00 Turns output OFF ( = reset Gate)
FE Turns output ON ( = set Gate)
FD Toggles the output. So if it was on, then it’ll be off and the other way around a trigger in the trigger column overrules the auto-gating function of a note if in the same row.

I ... didn't realize I could use FD to flip a gate state ... especially when combining that with probability  ... well, I WAS gonna go to bed ... GUESS I CAN'T NOW!

Using the SHIFT+OK button combination the values can fastly be toggled between 000, 800, C-0, C-4 and C-8.

I think I need to re-read the manual at least once a week until I just absorb all of this!
