- rendering the reverb: the send device has a ‘mute source’ option. mute the source for both channels, then render the send track to a sample.
- silent kick: the signal follower responds to a signal. a silent kick has no signal, so the signal follower won’t do a thing. you could try using the key tracker with both the min/max sliders set to zero, which will give you input no matter what key you play. you could also try the velocity device, where you can just control stuff through the volume channel.
anyone correct me if i’m wrong! xerxes: good luck!
