Hey folks, getting into the arranger mode recently. I noticed that if I set a track to mute in arranger mode, I can’t unmute it via the mixer or func+track. To be specific, I have a pattern and I have my kick in track 1 and when the song comes to this pattern I want the kick muted, and then I want to be able to unmute it manually.
Obviously I can duplicate this row in the arranger and remove the mute, and when I want to unmute the kick, just start this duplicate row. But this way I can only unmute the kick when the pattern completes. Also this method will eventually make too many rows just to mute and unmute tracks, I have lots of other patterns that I want to use mutes.
The other method I came up with is to start the pattern (track 1 muted via arranger), set track 1 to “plays free”, and then trigger the track with the trig 1 button. Any set backs to this? Never used plays free function until now.
Any other alternatives, ideas about this? Peace and happy new year everyone!
