It has already be mentioned there that the pattern auto-saving behaviour is if not odd, very different from the kit auto-saving behaviour:
If you edit a pattern and then switch to another one, your pattern is auto saved, which makes improvising on a session complicated because you’re always afraid of loosing your starting pattern. I personally like to have one basic pattern per song on which I can improvise to make the music evolve somewhere else. This behaviour forces me to copy/paste this basic pattern somewhere else before editing it, but I would rather use the Reload button if I could. This would prevent me from having a mess of edited variations everywhere on my sessions.
And it’s also true for trig mutes. This is how I thought trig mutes should be used : You prepare a pattern with a lot of notes in it, then you choose which ones are more or less secondary in your musical phrase, and then mute them. While performing live, you launch your pattern, then progressively unfold your sequence by unmuting notes and make your music grow.
Problem is, you can make it once, and that’s it. When you want to switch to your next song, you will loose all the “mute” information. To prevent this loss you would have to Reload your current pattern to come back to the initial version (live, in front of your audience), otherwise you will have to spend some time the next day re-picking which notes should be muted for your next gig.
With that in mind, I can’t think of a musical/clever way to use trig mutes, other than in a studio. How do you guys use it?
Partly tru , but if your thing is saved u don’t have to do remutes fot the next gig you just have to rerload the performance.
It would be nice if the auto-save could be turned off - but it’s needed if you wanna record a track over different patterns chained .
I use the mutes a lot to try-out différences in the tracks without changing the basis i’ve made. ( so can recall where I started. ) a work around is to save only the mask (mutes ) and paste that back but I don’t think that’s whayt you’re looking for.

I also think autosave is necessary, I just think it should not overwrite the manual saved state so easily. Because it makes this one next to useless imo (I do use manual saving for kits though, but again, its behaviour is different from the pattern one.)
VERY interested in that reload performance thing, if it can restore the mutes . How do you access that ?
The mask copy pasting idea is clever but I am looking for something simpler.
what I mean is that wathever you do to your patterns during a gig - if it’s changing the Kits ( sounds ) - the song-structure or the patterns. You only have to relaod it- it will relaod to it’s last saved state.( mutes are saved allso )
Maybe there is another way but the way to achieve what you want ( to my knowledge ) - would be to save the pattern(s) with the mutes- then unmute step-by-step during performance. This changes would become definite the moment you change patterns - interesting in a chain as you could gradually unmute over several patterns.
Reloading the total from the + DRIVE wil give you the original state ( with all mutes )
i have my machine almost 2 yaers and I’m still finding different approaches to Live-jamming.
