Why are triggers in MS instead of musical divisions?

[mgd]

I do not find it as obvious as it seems to appear. For me it comes down to the distinction between triggers and gates. I'm aware they are often interchanged in their use and they are similar. But at the end of the day I want triggers to be short and their duration independent of my music timing. For gates I'm 100% percent with you. Their duration should be related to the music in almost all cases I can think of.

Which kind of canonically leads to some form of feature request to have gates with musically determined duration on top of the current trigger oriented options.

Does that make sense?
If yes I'd repost it under feature requests.

Kind regards,
Michael
