Hello, how can I select a Pad in a Drum Program without it playing a Sound?
The only thing I could find so far is: Hold Shift and press the Pad.
Unfortunately this doesn't work!
I've tried all possible key combinations with no success.

Thank you for your help!

Load a wav file with zero volume.

Set the amp envelope to have no audio.

Even if you don’t load a sample to a pad you can still hit the pad and it’s selected isn’t it?

Etc.
