What is the problem?
Tracks 9-16 support internal synth sequencing but do not support manipulation on a track level the same as tracks 1-8, making them rather awkward to use live for anything other than driving external midi.
It impacts the ability to mix track volumes, and also impacts one’s ability to experiment with muting while ideating arrangements.
There is a global mix volume for each of the three synth channels yet this interferes with track-based volume mixing if tracks 1-8 contain both samples and synths.
What should this feature achieve?
Primarily - Extend the Master page (via a Shift+Right/Left) to allow access to volume, mute, solo support for tracks 9-16.
Secondarily - Extend the Perform page (via a Shift+Right/Left) to allow access to Performance FX for tracks 9-16.
I split the above into two tasks as the second may be harder to implement than the first?
To support current workflows, a project / global config option to toggle between the current global Synth volume master control, and the proposed extended track-based master controls could be included - although it may be possible to support both workflows simultaneously?
All the above relate to when there are internal Synths being used. I would imagine any MIDI programming on these tracks could have the option to ignore or obey this proposed track muting/volume adjustment feature.
Are there any workarounds?
No. There is no way to mute or change the track volume on tracks 9-16.
