greetings

I recorded a 2 bar drum sequence, midi out 1A going to my synth (analogue drums). I have a kick, snare and hi hat.

1) I want to solo one pad at a time (or mute two pads at a time) so I could record the audio from the synth separately, i.e. have audio samples of each drum.

- I tried the Q-Link slider LVL setting assigned to the pad I wanna mute. I turn it all the way to 0 but the midi note still goes out normally.

- The only way it worked out was to assign some very small silent audio sample to the pad I wanna mute. Then I can use PADmute to mute the pad (including the outgoing midi note)
----
Totally forgot that mute assignments work only when in PADmute screen, darn... So recording into an audio track is out of question.





2) I set the Note of PAD1 to 34 A#0. That's the kick drum. Recorded a 2 bar sequence. When I go to GRID EDIT I can only see it if I choose view all pads, so I can't edit it separately. Is there a workaround? (other than using step edit)
----- PS... I just tried this again, in a new sequence and everything is fine, the A#0 is there. hmm, a bug?

good work around there astro. good to see you working it out. I suggest IMHO that you had user error instead of bug. it happens to us all. :)
Might i suggest pad event to track. This will pull out seperate pads and make them seperate tracks. I do this for drums all the time. I write drum track and then seperate them out to different tracks. As you are using MIDI just put into drum mode then back into midi mode after ad event to track.
This is good if tracks are free, but you can use another sequence instead and copy back.
