You can also mute entire tracks by using the similar Track Mute function.
To enter Track Mute Mode, press Menu and then tap Track Mute.
1. Press Play to play the sequence.
2. Tap the Sequence field at the top of the touchscreen, and then use the Data Dial or –/+ buttons to
select the desired sequence. Alternatively, double-tap the Sequence field, and then tap a sequence
to select it.
3. Each pad is assigned to a track. Mute a track by pressing the corresponding pad or tapping it on the
touchscreen. The pad will be lit red. You can mute multiple tracks at the same time.
4. To mute pads on another program, repeat Steps 3–4.
Tip: To mute a track only at precise note intervals ("quantizing" your mutes, essentially), tap Time
Division to set a musical timing value. Tap the desired musical value (e.g., 1 Bar). Alternatively, use the
Data Dial or –/+ buttons. Tap Close to close the page. Now, when you press a pad in Track Mute Mode,
the mute will occur precisely at the beginning of the following time division (in this example, 1 bar). This
lets you test musical combinations of patterns—the preliminary stage to building a song structure.
