multi efx in live situation

I can't get this thing sorted:

I would love to use one group in my Maschine as a flexible multi efx - like the Kaoss Pad for example. In this group I am using individual sounds/pads for different. Now I route one drum group to a sound in this efx group. And each sound/pad containing an effect is routed to the next pad containing the next effect and so on...
Now I was hoping that I could mute individual effects in this chain by muting the pads. But muting has no influence on it.

Any idea how this could be achieved?

Best,

What you describe is something I've requested for a while now: the option for muting Sounds with only effects loaded to just bypass that Sound's effect chain. Currently, exactly what you want in the way you want is not possible.

There are a couple of ways I can think of off the top of my head that could get you somewhere close though:

1. Set up Patterns with appropriate modulation to set effects on and off: at its simplest, Pattern 1 would turn on Sound 1's effects, Pattern 2 would turn on Sound 2's effects etc.
2. Use Maschine as a plugin and use MIDI notes out from the Sounds to turn effects on/off in the host (requires more set up and a host that can use MIDI notes as remote MIDI control messages).

 

Thanks! I prefer using patterns to automate efx. Great idea!
