Proposal to improve track-muting experience

[dimonomid]

@DavidPackouz thanks for getting back to me and for clarifying things.

@DavidPackouz

We are currently working on the mute at the end of the measure/track setting. I hope to get it into the next release or the one after that.

Great, thank you.

We do plan to make a RPM setting – Record/Play/Mute – this would give you the single tap to mute, at the expense of having overdubs. We don’t want to change the tap/double tap/hold command system too much because it will cause a lot of confusion and greatly complicate the product.

While I do see the point about confusion, I wouldn’t like to give up on overdubs completely. So if you don’t want to change the layout much, would an option at least just swap overdub/mute functions?

So right now, single click means overdub, double click means mute. We’re talking about adding an option to make single click to mean mute. But instead of throwing overdub away completely, can we at least make it so that double click will mean overdub? It’s not ideal because there will be a short muting in between of the clicks (that’s the problem which my earlier proposal addresses), but it’s still better than having no overdub at all.

Another option is to use the MIDI Maestro for instant access to mute/unmute for each individual track. We hope to have that functionality built into the Aeros firmware in the next month or two.

Will there be a MIDI command to start/stop overdub of the currently selected track? So that if I have RPM option turned on, I could use some simple single-button midi controller sending that overdub command via MIDI, to get single-click overdub. I don’t see it in the list of MIDI commands you posted: Aeros MIDI Commands
