Not sure if this is a MnM or MD question, or possibly both.
How in the heck do you set up the MIDI track sequencer on the MnM to MUTE individual drum tracks on the MD?
I’m simultaneously looking at the Control Map Editor page on the MD, the MIDI Sequencer Settings page on the MnM, and the MIDI Control Reference page (appendix B) in the MnM manual, and it makes my head spin!
I admit, I am not adept at programming MIDI, so please have mercy!
Good question!

It was nice of him to reply with the link, but I still don’t have a clue how to actually make all of this work! It’s just a page full of numbers to me.
I can’t speak to the Monomachine side of things, but here’s how to mute tracks on the Machinedrum:
with everything in the MD set to standard, you can use MIDI CCs 12, 13, 14, 15 on the base channels to mute the tracks.
So:
channel 1 CC12 will mute/unmute track 1
channel 1 CC13 will mute/unmute track 2
channel 1 CC14 will mute/unmute track 3
channel 1 CC15 will mute/unmute track 4
channel 2 CC12 will mute/unmute track 5
channel 2 CC13 will mute/unmute track 6
channel 2 CC14 will mute/unmute track 7
channel 2 CC15 will mute/unmute track 8
etc…
The value of the CC message sets whether the track should be muted or unmuted. If the value is 0, the track is unmuted, if it’s >0, the track is muted.
So on the Monomachine, for example if you want to mute the BD track on MD, you need to find a way to send a CC12 on channel 0 with a value that’s bigger than 0.
well that’s a huge step in the right direction! Thanks so much for posting this VOID. I’m gonna give a try later when I’m with my Elektrons.
so any chance to mute midi tracks via external midi?
Yes; use the guidance given earlier in the thread.
I’ve researched this myself and I don’t think it’s possible. I have a bunch of things being controlled by a bcr2000, but midi mutes aren’t one of them.

Sorry, I thought you were asking about muting MD tracks, given that was the subject of the previous posts.
The answer is no, you cannot mute the MM tracks by MIDI messages. The closest you can do is to set the track level to 0 using either CC message number 07 or NRPN 00 127.
no problems i was not clear! thanks for the tip!
Is there really no way to control the track mutes of the monomachine’s 6 midi tracks?
You can do this with cc number 3!
no no, i wanna control the mutes of the ext midi tracks, not the internal synth tracks. as far as i know there’s not a way to do this.
