BM3. why mute audio not sequence?
well after the initial excitement, i've got to say there is one thing i just don't get with this app.
on the trigger pads there's a mute option. but what does it do? it mutes audio. why mute the audio
instead of it muting sequence data being put out?
i've never used anything that works like this, hardware or software.
when you mute a pattern it abrupty cuts off the audio. no tails, just cuts it dead. so for live performance on the pads un/muting, mixing up your patterns, build things up etc this feature is useless.
i thought i'd try IAA. Does extantly the same thing by abruptly cutting the audio, but worst still the sequencer keeps putting out the midi?!! i just don't get it
why have the feature on the trigger pads? they are for playing live, either on screen or with a mapped controller. an audio mute button else where, for sure, but not on the trigger pads. the mute on the trigger pads 'normally' stops midi being sent but keeps the transport cycling, enabling you to mute a track and keep your audio tails.
i'm totally crest fallen 
this is a lush app

you might want to ask the devs directly on their forum.
@gonekrazy3000 yeah, i have. no response yet. just wanted to know other peeps opinion, really.
my hardware RS7000 offers choice of muting audio or midi .
audio is more immediate for long samples & therefore useful in many instances .
e.g long held notes , if midi muted ,may require a bar or a whole pattern to retrigger before you hear them , whereas if audio muted you can drop in & out at leisure while midinote stays held , & dont forget midi samplers may use these long held notes to play a long phrase over many bars .
Yes, it's dumb and wrong. Audio muting should be done on the mixer and pattern muting where it belongs.
I believe this has been mentioned / discussed / feature requested on their forum. Too lazy to look up and link the thread right now, but you should. If you're crest fallen as you say then you should add your opinion.
I'm guessing that will be in a feature realease at some point. It's just too wrong not to fix.
yeah both is best.
with the long held notes, well that's up to how you play the keys/pads/or how notes are input in the sequencer. the sampler has option for oneshot, hold etc. it's also worth noting that you would have route your external hardware thru BM3 in order to having it stop playing because BM3 keeps pumping out the midi-not very desirable to do that if you've got analogue being digitised.
@wim 'Audio muting should be done on the mixer and pattern muting where it belongs'
yes! i was beginning to feel a bit of a fringe loony.
once i've got a bunch of progressions together-melodies, percussion and all that and jamming them in and out on the pads... oh, that's such a great feature.
intua seems like they've got a lot going on. it's lovely app
Correct. Audio muting has lots of uses (otherwise mixers woulnd't have mute buttons!) but an app like this should offer both. And each in the right places.
Looks like you posted over on the Intua Forum. Good! I'll upvote over there.
Even ikaossilator has a choice between audio or "event" mute. I mean jeeeeezus.
UP
@wim
pretty surprised that more people don't get this and have just let it pass. Maybe it's not so important for some peoples' work flow or ..?
got to say that being able to mute midi lanes of a sequencer and cut off note/cc's is not a niche thing- it's fundamental to every DAW.
muting audio from external sources like hardware or other apps while continuing to send them note/cc's is not only a waste of resources such as cpu/ram/polyphony, it's just plain inelegant.
probably a bit like driving a car that doesn't have brakes fitted, so when you need to stop you just have to crash in to something firmly rooted to the ground... like a big tree or a brick wall.
I'll give it a vote over on Intua site as well.
@lukesleepwalker cheers, man.
i'm not very optimistic tho_O
