is this possible?

i don't have m4l yet. can someone confirm that this is achievable:
i'd like to have a clip playing a bass pattern, and have it "bypassed" as soon as i play a note on my keyboard.
for instance i could have the midi instrument on track 1 with monitor set to "In" and the clip playing on track 2 with its output to track 1, and as soon as any midi note is received from my keyboard, track 2 is muted.
i guess this is fairly easy to do. confirmed?

if anyone has any idea on a way to do this without m4l, i'll take it too!

thanks for your help.

there are many ways to do that with m4L.

this is pretty easy to do with M4L, and I don't know of any way to do it without M4L.

I didnt precise it but it could be done with only one track..
m4L is the tool to have always in your bag

you can do this with a sidechained gate as well...

it is a full audio way and it works fine (right?)
the other ways are more about data interface etc.

thanks guys for the input.
i didn't think of the sidechained gate, that's a good idea!

There's a MIDI solution too, though it would require the free Max runtime to run.
Basically it would be a patch that listen for midi input and if any notes are playing its sets Monitor to "In" on the MIDI track.
