Re: Machinedrum temporary muting idea

2004-10-06 by endlessnessisticman

You have some good idea.  I especially like the sequencing mute.  How
many times have I thought something was buggy when it was just muted?
 I see no reason to have mute when you press the buttons.

I would like to see a M somewhere in the red screen rather than a
window.  I know it minimizes but it still gets in the way.

The temp mute function you suggest is a cool idea too.  Didn't you ask
elektron yet?
