Good news, thanks for the response. This bothered me as well.
Btw, on the topic of drum pad assignments, is there any way to change them without launching MCC? It would be nice if we could simply transpose the pads up and down directly from the hardware. I hate that I have to launch MCC and reconfigure the pads to match whatever drum source I might be using at the time. Spark starts at C4 for example, many others start elsewhere.
