A4 Neighbor : how to not hear the neighbor track?

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four

Not sure if it’s possible, here’s an example of what I tried without success :

T1 has just one long trigger. There is a slow filter envelope that makes a sweep.
T2 has only the OSC2 enabled, listening to the Neighbor (T1).
I want to use T2 only to “gate” T1. But I don’t want to hear T1.

If I mute T1, then the filter sweep is not triggered.
Am I being stupid ?

EDIT : my mind always goes in circles…Gating a track with another track?

…i’m confused…i’m only used to the concept and term of a “neighbour” track on the ot…

but ok, i never used the a4 in any poly attempts…maybe that’s why…

Does it work if you turn the level of T1 down?

Yeah, mutes apply to note triggers rather than output. This enables some performance tricks!
