Mute MIDI notes???

[lloydcole]

Am I missing something or is it impossible to mute individual or groups of MIDI notes with the exception of using mute region, and turning automation on for the MIDI track??
I'd like to be able to try ideas with and without certain notes or phrases. Short of copying and pasting whole tracks, editing and then A/B ing, I can't see a way to do this. If the mute tool could work on MIDI selections as it works on soundbites, that would be ideal..
Any suggestions appreciated.
I am new here.

Welcome. A tip:

DP is really really good for MIDI editing. Use the split notes function and assign (select and cut/copy) the notes you don't want to hear to another track outputting to a non-exsistent (fake/dummy) instrument or muted track assigned to the same instrument. That way you can still see the notes but not hear em and play with the track's mute button. IMO split notes (also to it learn make a keystroke shortcut) is key to MIDI arranging- also color coding and seeing multiple MIDI tracks using the show/hide coloumn in a _single_ MIDI graphic (piano roll) edit window is gooooood.
Have fun
