I’ve looked through the manual and here but can’t seem to find an answer to my question, so here it goes:
I’m looking for a way to cue mutes just like it’s possible on the Machinedrum by holding function + selecting desired tracks and letting go of function. I’ve grown super dependent of that feature in my live sets, so any help would be greatly appreciated
It’s not a pre-listen, is it? It’s like you select multiple tracks and then they all mute/unmute at the same time, when you let go of FUNC. Given that there is a dedicated mute mode on the Digitakt (where the trig keys become track mutes) I’d have thought they could add that with a software update. Func+trig doesn’t do anything else in that mode, right?
Well, you can just go into mute mode and unmute multiple tracks at once, or press and hold func (or TRK+func when you’re in grid recording mode) to go to quick mute mode. You can just unmute multiple tracks by pressing func + multiple trigs.
In mute mode Func+trig doesn’t do anything special yet. Unmuting/muting multiple tracks like that is not implemented (yet, as far as I know)), but because of the 2x8 trig rows, muting/unmuting multiple trigs at once is really easy.
It just makes it easier/less stressful to do multiple mute/unmutes live. Though yeah, I would imagine that the 2x8 trig layout is easier to work with than 1x16.
See the thing is, with A4+MD setup, I would use both hands to cue mutes on either machine, then hold the function button while cueing mutes on the other one and boom release both function buttons for a sexy breakdown or whatever. With that feature, I was able to quickly mute all 16 tracks on the MD without a problem Gotta practice some finger/hand speed on the Digitakt or wait for a potential mute/solo update
