Gadget: Muting the clip

Matt_Fletcher_2000

Little discovery I made recently.

If you mute Gadget tracks it produces an abrupt end to that track's audio (ie you lose the release/tail). So it's not ideal using track mute for live jamming with Gadget.

But:

If you hit function and then mute individual clips, I realise that it's muting the midi, not the audio. This is great because it never clips the audio abruptly. It lets the last note's release play out. And you can unmute and never hear the end of the last loop.

So for getting close to Ableton style clip launching you could just lay all your clips out on one very long scene with 30 tracks or so. And use clip muting / unmuting.

I even suspect that it's kinder on the processor because muted clips aren't being played.

Wow! That's a really cool and useful trick you have there! Thank you @Matt_Fletcher_2000

I just discovered that the other day as well. In fact I hadn't even noticed the mute button on the function grid. It is helpful, but they seriously need straight up clip launching from anywhere on the grid.

It also has the advantage that it is peppered with surrounding delete and clear buttons, thus making a live performance just that bit more spontaneous.

HAHA! I'm all too familiar with that trademark Gadget spontaneity.

True. It's not ideal.

Having it up also covers up the track faders. Which is a bit of a shame.
