Great to see the removal of many of the downsides of instrument tracks. However, something I find useful, might still be an issue…I’m hoping someone can prove me wrong.
I previously used midi tracks because it allowed me to record some midi notes, and if I wanted to try a new line, I could just mute the track, and play along on a midi k/b. with instrument tracks it seems this dos not work, as muting the track, means that playing on the midi Kb does not sound. Is that right? Any way around that. I quite like to use instrument tracks, as there is a better tie up between the midi track and the controller data I use for parameter tweaking.
all those newfangled features … you kidz are spoiled. In my day you had to pull the real, calibrate the machine, load a new real and hope the keyboard player didn’t get too stoned during the wait to try again.
by some quirk…or not, I can actually achieve this in a funny way.
the key M seems to toggle the mute on and off for the recorded Midi, but still allows me to play over the top using the midi keyboard. I cannot see anywhere where it toggles a display or label to indicate the mute is one, but it works perfectly…maybe an undocumented feature…I’m quite happy with that…don’t fix it please.
