Using signal follower with a muted track

Hello, i have a bit of a strange problem here.

First of all i’ve set the “mute-mode” to “mute” at the options.

I’ve made a “kickdrum track” with signal-follower on it routed to the “fx-downlifter” track, this track has the “sidechaining effect”.

This works fine, it also works fine when i “mute” the track manually on the track itself.

But if i mute the track on the pattern-matrix (which i basically want), the sidechain effect doesn’t work? (how is the pattern-matrix mute different from the regular track-mute?).

Basically i want a muted “kickdrum-track” but the “fx-downlifter” track to still have this “sidechaining effect”. How can i make this possible?

The screenshot shows what i mean (green color works, red doesn’t work).

Hmm i found 1 way to do it, using post-mixer volume… just create a seperate track, and put post volume on the kick-track at -INF db :slight_smile:
