Performance perimeter question

Is there a way to reset performance knobs to zero? If I’m building a song up and want to break it down or make a “drop” it gets
Extremely cumbersome trying to reset 4 knobs while unmuting a track or 2 etc. thanks either way just been on my mind lately…

You cannot with A4 alone…with OT you can automate whatever you want on A4…Macros included !

But…
you can try this…hold FUNCT and press the unlit MUTE button of the silent track…this way (keeping held the Funct) you get prepared to unmute it…
then rotate the two Macros towards left,if i remember correctly the Macros should snap immmediately to zero if Funct is held.
When the sound gets where you need it, you can leave the Funct button so you can unmute the Track.
In this scenario, of cours, you have only one hand to bring two Macros to zero…
Sometimes on Elektrons…you need ninja moves

Thanks for the response and learning new tricks is always helpful. I usually stick to performance mode when this would be needed so unmuting is already a one handed process via the sequencer buttons. I would also possibly be unmuting stuff on the RYTM. I’m sure I want and may get octatrack someday if they ever become available again but I have a lot of tools at my disposal as is.

I’m getting better at turning three knobs at a time while unmuting with my big toe though ; )
