Mute and Solo instrument
Derek Lee
I'd like to update this request with the latest information for others who might find this.
#1. Delete Instrument: https://beat-note.canny.io/feature-requests/p/delete-remove-or-hide-instrument
#4. Use own samples: https://beat-note.canny.io/feature-requests/p/ability-to-add-our-own-wav-drum-samples
For #2 and #3, I will rename the name of this request to cover both mute and solo instrument functionality and we can use this enhancement request for these features. 👍🏻
Thanks Henry!

Original feature request was:
"In edit mode: Tap and hold on an instrument should show a menu to
1- delete the instrument
2- mute the instrument
3- solo the instrument
4- assign a different sound (a different wave file for the sound)
Thank you,
H."

Hi Henry,
Thanks so much for creating this enhancement request! My apologies for not responding sooner as I was traveling to attend NAMM and exhibit at TMEA when this came through. It slipped under my radar. Thanks for your patience!
I understand you've asked for the capability to do several very specific actions in the app on a very specific screen of the app. In order to understand your needs better, could you please provide further context so I can understand what you want to do?
For example:
- Why do you want to delete an instrument from a beat? When you delete that instrument, how do you expect the beat to change?
- Why do you want to mute an instrument on the edit beat screen? Which instrument(s) would you mute, and why? Why the edit beat screen?
- Why do you want to solo an instrument on the edit beat screen? Which instrument(s) would you solo, and why? Why the edit beat screen?
- What instrument sounds do you want to change? What kind of sounds are you looking for? Do you want to change each instrument independently or the entire kit? When would you change the sound? Why on the edit beat screen?
These requests are all quite deep and unique, so ideally I'd like to create separate feature requests for each one. I think I need more context to understand what it is you really want to accomplish before we can do that, so please help me understand your needs. It might be quicker to set up a meeting to discuss as well. You can do this right from within the app under Settings > Schedule 1:1 with Derek. Thanks!

Oooooh I like this! I suggested a show/hide option before too. This would be great in that list. The “delete” instrument is kind of scary on bigger files but still very valuable so I’m kind of on the fence with that one as I definitely would love to be able to delete my instruments if I don’t want them anymore. Derick I suggested different kit templates before on another post. Honestly haven’t my the ability to just swap out different samples might be the better way to go. You would really have true customization available to you and it might be easier to configure/program. Also I wish we had a cowbell instrument. With all these layers being able to delete instruments and show/hide the instrument is super crucial.
