soundquistCan I mute individual sequences? I seems I can’t… 🙁
I’m a little baffled, I thought I had tested this… but maybe not.

ZynewaveCurrently you can only mute a track and not individual events on the track. Could you describe the situation where you would want to mute an individual clip on a track?

Certainly. For me personally this is simply a quick way of trying out different arrangements of a song. (What happens if I lift the drums on this part? Or the bass? or both? No, maybe not… etc)
This probably will be at a point when the song has advanced from the first idea or sketch, so I might have notes or events I may want to re-use later in some other part, so I want to sort of keep them. I also might want to change my mind later.
If there is some simple workaround that people use I’m happy learn about it. I’m thinking already in my head of adding a muted child track where I can drag the seq:s i want to mute. But this will of course clutter up the arrangement.

MaxI just want to add that I need muting individual events and notes too. I miss this feature when arranging my tracks – sometimes it’s good to hear how the project will sound without some sequences or notes. Delete and undo works too, but it’s a workaround, and not the most comfortable workaround.

Absolutely. My thoughts exactly.
ZynewaveIt should be easy to add a mute feature for individual sequence or sound events. There could be a “Mute Events” command in the edit menu and the event context menu. The sequence event would be drawn in the greyed out mode similar to events on a muted track, and possible an “M” icon next to the name to indicate the event is muted.
Muting individual note events is another matter I think. Are there anyone (other than Max) that would find this useful?

Yes that sounds good. Adding a Mute Event/s option to the already Cut, Copy and Delete Event right click options for events, would make the mute option very easy to access at Event /clip level.
The sequence event would be drawn in the greyed out mode similar to events on a muted track, and possible an “M” icon next to the name to indicate the event is muted.
Another very good idea. I think the “M” icon would be a very good indicator as there could be a number of clips muted in a project at the same time.

Yes. 8)
There are many times where I would definitely prefer to just mute a note to see how a midi sequence will sound without it, instead of deleting it. This is a very useful idea IMO. The editing of drums, keys e.t.c would all benefit from a note mute feature IMO.
I suppose the muted note could be grayed out both in a drum grid (when editing drums) and in the sequence editors Piano roll if editing a piano sequence for example.
It will just offer more creative possibilities in Podum Frits. Real time hosts, Live, Phrazor e.t.c offer many creative features. Podiums real time engine would be ideal for an event and midi note mute feature. IMHO.:wink:

Some sort of greyed out thing is enough for me.

Absolutely. EXT has both of these features I think. Tracktion has neither.

ZynewaveI’ll try to add track event/note event muting for the 1.74 release.

Mute Event, with a right clic/menu or a shortcut (I can Mute a whole track, but how to mute only some events ?)Not supported. I’ll add it to the plan.
Very happy to see it now !
Thanks.
