Trigger Ableton Live in mute mode

Hello,
I am still a bit new with the Analog Rytm and get stuck at one point.

Is it possible to trigger a clip or scene in Ableton with a AR pad when the AR is in in mute mode?
I would like to do the following: The BD plays a pattern and then is muted for a few bars to initiate a new phase in the music. During this time, I make improvisation with an acoustic instrument and I select a new scene (or clip) in Ableton without starting it. Then I want to end the mute of the BD by pushing the BD pad and at the same time the scene is triggered in Ableton and the BD starts.

I can’t get this to work. In play mode I can trigger the Ableton scene without any problem. But that wouldn’t make sense since mute doesn’t.

I really appreciate you guys taking the time to solve my problem. Thank you very much!
