Select track on Digitone in mute mode?

Elektron Gear Digitone/Digitone Keys

Waiting the select track function in Mute mode too!

Another great new feature would be to flash in white track buttons when a note is playing even if the track is muted and not in mute mode (as the Digitakt does).
Its more easy when your confuse about what track is playing what before unmuting it

i dont mind stepping out of mute mode quick to select track, but itā€™s obviously not ideal

i think that func+track would be too confusing. whereas most elektrons use ā€œTrackā€ + track to select, i think ā€œMidiā€ on the DN could replace ā€œTRACKā€ as the selection shift function here

Wow, all the time I thought I was too stupid or did miss something, but apparently itā€™s a major gripe with all of you as well. Hope this will get fixed in an update. Gives me anxiety about jumping between tracks while playing and thus keeping me from adjusting settings on the DN while playing.

I would alternatively wish we could mute the Digitone tracks with the PATTERN Mutes from Digitakt (maybe a settings option to be able to choose if either PATTERN or GLOBAL mutes send CCā€™s - as I only use pattern mutes for my workflow, as many other here).

Wow, I was thinking Iā€™m stupid and not doing the right thing but Iā€™m realizing that is a difficult procedure. They need to fix in order to make as easy than in DT.

Anyways, at least I use DN controlled by DT so i can mute/unmute the DN tracks from the DT and leave the DN in the ā€œselect modeā€ for the color buttons. So clever how this two machines work together.

Is there a tutorial on how to set this up? Iā€™m rarely using DN without DT so it could be a workaround.

The most confusing thing is that selected track lights green, but sometimes red. As red is also used for muting/unmuting, you never trust the damn light. A clear color scheme would go a long way and should be a easy to implement.

This tutorial video of Ivar Tryti explains how to do this:

Thanks to you and Ivar!

But unfortunately muting DN from DT doesnā€™t work in pattern mute mode (purple). This would solved all my headaches.

yes, so sad. We have to remind these issues to the Support so they can add this features in the future.

+1 for ā€œFUNC + TRKā€ selecting track when in mute mode.

Been returning more to my DN and DT over the last days. DT mute and track select modes are so intuitive. DN is a real nightmare. Now that I have started using pattern mutes more, it becomes even worse.

Is this really not a thing still? Iā€™m kind of baffled :sweat_smile: Iā€™m hoping itā€™s been added somehow and the rest of my comment is redundant?

Iā€™ve only recently started digging into my DN properly and after having tried all possible combinations Iā€™ve come here to find out that even Elektron recognised it as a flaw 5 years ago and still havenā€™t fixed it? Just FUNC+TRK when in mute mode itā€™s got to be 1 line of code whatā€™s the deal?

As others have said DT is so much better in this regard, I get confused enough with the track buttons to begin with, itā€™s amazing to me that they added buttons and somehow lost functionality :joy:
