Track not to use any sounds, only midi send

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four
#1

First post here. Let me briefly thank everyone on this forum so far, it’s been so helpful in the last weeks starting to explore the Analog Keys and Digitakt.

I would like to understand if the following concept is possible on the Analog Keys:

Track 1 - using all 4 sounds as chords
Track 2 - Midi send channel 2 / no sound triggered
Track 3 - Midi send channel 3 / no sound triggered
Track 4 - Midi send channel 4 / no sound triggered

I understand how to set up midi etc, but the problem is the fact that Track 2-4 will use one or several of the usable 4 sounds of the Analog Keys. So the moment I trigger note in the section Track 2-4 it will result in losing one of the four sounds in my chords on Track 1.

I really love that the AK is such a strong sequencer which is super useful within my modular setup. I hope someone has the same setup end know a workaround.

Many thanks!

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the midi implementation with this sequencer. A mode where you trigger no voice and only midi would be a cool firmware addition.

For now you can use the fx and the cv track as full sequencer midi tracks without triggering Internal voices…

Oh, and welcome to the community :grinning:

That would be a neat feature. I use the A4 in poly or 4 voice unison a lot.
