Mute tracks when using external midi sequencer

Elektron Gear Analog Rytm

Hi,

I am not able to mute any track when using an external midi sequencer and AR as slave, not sure if this is possible, a bug or maybe not doing the correct way?

Thanks,

Mat

It’s possible.

1. In the midi port config you need to enable receive CC/NRPN

2. CC number for mute/unmute is 94 and sending a value of 127 on the corresponding track channel mutes the track. To unmute you send the value 0.

So for example to mute the LT6 you need to send CC94 with value 127 on midi channel 6.

I’m trying to set up a foot controller to mute and unmute tracks on the RYTM. For example: set up button 1 to mute the bass drum, button 2 to mute the snare, button 3 to mute the hihat etc. If I’m reading the manual correctly CC 94 will mute the active track but I don’t see a way to either select a track or to mute a specific track. Is this setup possible on the RYTM?

Use a different MIDI channel number for each track.

Yes, send CC94 to channels 1, 2 and 9 to mute kick, snare and chh (if you are using the default midi channel mappings, that is).

This is a good new trick, I’ve been using mutes on the seq itself to do this earlier. But now I can actually cook up some bome magic for manipulating any/all mutes with an ext controller, great!
