You need to create a MIDI output-only bus called SendPattern and another MIDI input-only bus called ReturnPattern. In the connections settings, connect the output of one to the input of the other.

Assign the input bus to the track containing the pattern generator. Leave the output as MIDI Master bus to avoid unwanted loops (I've tested it and none occur, but it's better to be safe than sorry).

From the track, create an aux send MIDI to SendPattern. Now the track send and receives the signal and you can record it.

There will be a slight latency. Nothing that selecting everything and repositioning, or quantizing, can't fix (if it's really necessary).

I'm not familiar with pattern plugins. I know that installing carla.lv2 includes a plugin similar to the one you mentioned, but more basic and with some bugs, though functional.

This method is also useful for any other type of filter, MIDI generator, or virtual controller plugin.
