[3094] b2/3 - drum rack: solo/unsolo bug

[Bunky Freaks]

I reported this issue allready for Live 7 where it is still present in the latest version, and it made its way into 8:

Load samples to two (or more) pads of a drum rack instrument. In session view unfold the drum rack to view the nested mixer channels. Solo the channel of one of the samples by clicking on the solo switch of the channel strip. Unsolo this track by clicking on the related solo button in the pad on the drum rack instrument:

Instead of lifting the solo state everything goes silent and all channels are greyed out. Clicking on any solo button in a mixer channel lifts the "general mute".

I can verify that this bug occurs for me, too.

I found other weird behavior in the soloing of Drum Rack chains. Try this out - (steps one and two replicate Bunky's procedure).

1. Set up a Drum Rack as Bunky outlines. Then, solo chain #1 with the solo button in the Mixer View.
2. Un-solo chain #1 via the solo button on the drum pad. You will encounter Bunky's bug. The chain that was soloed will still sound, but all the other chains are muted.
3. Solo any other chain in the Drum Rack with the solo button on the drum pad. This chain will solo, but chain #1 still sounds!

I found that after encountering the bug, you can solo any combination of the other chains via the drum pads, with Ctrl-click on the solo buttons, and the soloed chains will sound, but so will chain #1. It's as if chain #1 is still soloed, but the solo buttons don't indicate it.

The behavior should be improved with Live 8.0b19.
Please give it a try.
