Mute Synth Plugin When Playing Keyboard

Forums

Hello -

I have a MIDI track with the synthv1 plugin. It goes to its own bus (not Master Out). I'm using my MIDI keyboard as a controller via this track.

When I mute the MIDI track and press play, no audio is heard from the MIDI clip. This is good and expected.

However, with the MIDI track still muted, I can hear the synth through the Master Out bus whenever I press keys on my keyboard.

Is there a way to mute the synth from the Master Out, without lowering the Master Out gain?

Thanks!

I wasn't able to get the desired outcome with the turning off Auto Monitor, but... I did figure out a workaround. I just listen to the synth as I record the control input. However, after the MIDI data is recorded, I bounce the new bus only into a new audio track. Then, I mute the original MIDI track. Since the bounced file does not have the synth playing from Master Out, it goes into the final mixdown. If I need to make edits, I edit the MIDI file and then rebounce. Thanks for the tips!
