Here a little something I put together for making mute and solo logic for mixer channels/oscillators etc. I've made it modular so that you can add as many channels as you like without needing a load of tedious wiring to make the logic work. You need to have the modules 'Solo Bus' and 'Button Graphics' on the same schematic level as all of the channel button modules.

Just Left-Click a solo button (little headphone icon) to toggle solo on and off - or CTRL click to add or remove from a selection of several channels. Right clicking any solo button cancels all solo's. The mute buttons (tick/cross) just toggle with a left click. There are also properties on the channel modules to give VST parameter names, and set up MIDI control (CC value >63 = Button Press, CC < 63 = Button Release) Mute Button bitmap has 4 frames - Cross bright, Tick bright, Cross dull, Tick dull (dull ones grey out the mutes when solo is active) Solo Button bitmap has 3 frames - Blue (No solos), Black (Some other channel solo'd), Yellow (This channel is solo'd)

Going to try to optimise it a bit later in the weekend - noticed that it can be slow to update when there's a lot of channels. Just a case of too many triggers going through, a few blockers should sort it out.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
