On the Digitakt, muted tracks are unlit, unmuted tracks are half lit when holding FUNC, and fully lit in mute mode. Since I’m always in mute mode, I don’t really have any experience with the half-lit mute buttons in quick mute. In normal mode, the blinking track buttons are pretty extreme, but in mute mode they’re a lot more muted (pun intended). I find the blinking a really nice aid when trying to figure out which track is playing which sample. If a track is blinking a soft purple every step, I’m pretty sure it’s the hihat track muted in local mode before even listening. Or if a track is blinking soft green at 5 and 13, it’s likely the snare muted in global mode.

This is the sort of feedback I’m missing from the A4 and Digitone, though the Digitone has blinking buttons in mute mode but not in normal mode. And unfortunately you can’t select tracks while in mute mode, you have to exit out of mute mode to do it. Ok, done being off topic
