Mindmeld MixMaster Ctrl-Shift behaviour on Mute and Solo

Since the Mindmeld mixers are incredibly popular I consider their behaviour the defacto standard. Therefor I wanted to implement the same logic for the mute and solo buttons with modifier keys (CTRL/CMD+SHIFT or CTRL/CMD alone) in my chained mixer. When trying it out in MixMaster (or MixMaster Jr.) the behaviour I see does not line up with the documentation or with what I saw in Omri Cohen’s video about MixMaster.

Supposedly if you have multiple muted channels and click an unmuted channel with CTRL/CMD+SHIFT held down, all other channels should be unmuted and the clicked channel should be muted. But when I try it, the channel I click stays unmuted. If I click one out of many muted channels with CTRL/CMD+SHIFT held down, all channels should be unmuted, but in fact all channels are unmuted except the one I clicked, which stays muted. Basically the state of the clicked button always stays the same, which is the opposite state from what I expected.

Now, I am confused which behaviour I should implement in my chained mixer. Can someone try it out and report how it behaves in MixMaster on their machine? Is this maybe a known issue in Mindmeld? Am I doing something wrong? Am I misunderstanding something? Am I hallucinating?:grinning_face:

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

I’m also observing the same behaviour you described, which also does not seem to follow the documentation. It’s been a while since I played with this, and I’m scratching my head wondering if this was a previous design deviation we did (and forgot to update the manual), or a bug. Perhps @steve might know. I’ll ponder this some more, but as I type this now, I think the documented behaviour seems more useful and natural, and I’m leaning towards considering this a bug (which is trivial to fix).

Cheers,

Marc

Thanks for looking into it! These are really great mixers!

Thanks! Had a quick chat with Steve and we will be fixing the issue to make it behave as specified in the documentation. Thanks for reporting the issue, and best of luck with your chained mixer! :vulcan_salute:
