Sequencer channel mutes via pads
19 Oct 2006, 16:52Looked in the faq and also ironically found myself answering somebody else's question about midi vs audio muting (using F3 in mixer mode), so here goes:
Is there a way to use the 16 channels to mute and unmute MIDI sequencer channels (like the alesis MMT-8) so that one can bring in and out MIDI sequence data without having to mute the audio from a particular channel? I want to be able to drop in occassional hits from a patch (multisample) that has midi data associated with it, but want to be able to stop the midi data when dropping in those hits. Using the audio mute is not exactly what I want because it is always actually generating the sound (like an analog mixer mute button) so when you unmute it, you still hear whatever would have been going on. I want to be able to control the PLAY/MUTE status with pads.
Thanks,
UMS
