It's possible and it affects the audiomixer only as much as every other
existing pad does. You only have to be careful when all previous pads
were non-live and the new one is live, or the other way around. That
might not work as expected. Or if pads are live and the latency is
changing now. In those cases some additional things will have to be
done.
