Continuing exploration: I found out that if you press a trigger and keep it held, the corresponding track is muted until you let go. That’s a good alternative to the Mute methods I find, quite immediate.
It is of course the way to select tracks, not silently (silently is with TRK + triggers) so it makes a sound. While with short sounds I can get away with it by pressing more or less in time with the music, for long samples it retriggers them which annoys me. I don’t mind the tail of the sample played in the sequence, but I don’t like to retrigger it.
Is there any way around that which you would advise? Thanks!
The track is technically not muted. While you have the trig held down it prevents the sequencer track from triggering steps because live playing always overrides the sequencer.
So, while it is a nice trick to get some mute like behavior by preventing the sequencer from triggering steps, unfortunately it will not behave how you would like.
Selecting a track with trk+trig does not register as a trig press as its function is track select, not trig track silently.
This might work but I haven’t tried it… you could parameter lock the volume to its desired level on each active trig in the pattern/track
Then turn the volume all the way down on the sample, the trigs are locked with the volume up so they won’t be affected, then when you hold the button for that track it won’t make a sound but will mute the track.
hi, i’m having the same problem, even if i lower the trigger volume the sample continues to play. example i have a sample on track 9 then when it goes to track 10 i lower the volume but it continues to play. i don’t understand well how you do it.
At some point Elektron introduced global track level probability. That is your friend for silent trigs. Turn probability way down, bash in some trigs, then turn probability back up if you want the hear the trigs.
