Digitakt stuck on mute mode

updated to 1.40, suddenly digitakt is stuck on global mute mode and have been unable to turn it off. i read the manual several times, plus have used digitakt for about 5 years without problems and am stumped
any suggestions on how to unmute would be appreciated.

I had some very quirky similar behavior with mutes on the Syntakt right after upgrading the firmware (both a stuck mode and after restart, mute keys that wouldn’t turn off), and I think others did in the bugs thread.

Starting a new project fixed it for me, and I haven’t encountered any of those problems revisiting pre-update projects since. (Didn’t encounter this on my Digitakt.)
