Timeline tap mutes incoming iaa

[krzycrs]

Tapping on the timeline and an iaa instrument loaded (note hold) is muting the incoming signal. Why is this, please, ?

Your question is a little unclear. Can you give us some more detail?

It sounds like you are saying that tapping on the timeline while the transport is going cuts off a note that is sustaining?

Is this while playing or in record?

[krzycrs]

Well, actually simply by loading an iaa synth, letting it play in bkgrnd, and touching on the timeline is muting the sound, while holding. thanks:)
Not that it doesn't feel natural that way, I'm only wondering how to evaluate the usefulness of it. Independent of rec on /or playing. Not while recording, (i should've written it before, sorry;)

Are you touching the timeline with 2 fingers? That's how scrubbing works.

@martygras: I've just tried this and @krzycrs is correct. [A single] Tap&hold on the timeline pauses (not just mutes) the incoming IAA audio stream of an armed track. I'm investigating further but it's certainly seems odd - I can't decide if it makes logical sense or not, i.e. Is it a good or bad thing?
