4.1.4. Mute/Solo features
The Mute/Solo buttons are great for live performances and creative sessions. They can help
you focus on the interactions of any combination of drums at a time, or you can use them
to work on one of the drum tracks without hearing the other instruments.
The status of the Mute/Solo buttons is Global, so they affect all patterns and songs. Their
settings are not preserved during a power-cycle. There is only one Solo group and one Mute
group available.
Mute and Solo do very different things but they work in exactly the same way, so we'll
describe them at the same time.
4.1.4.1. Create a Group
Setting up a Mute/Solo Group is very simple. Let's say you want to focus on the Kick 2 and
Closed/Open Hat tracks for a few minutes:
•
Press the Solo button to enter Solo mode. When it is lit, the Solo group is active.
•
Tap the Kick 2, Closed Hat and Open Hat pads. When lit, they are part of the
group.
•
To toggle the Solo group on and off, press the Solo button.
The process for setting up a Mute group is identical. So if you want to hear everything but
the percussion tracks for a minute, use the Mute button and the appropriate pads to put
them into the Mute group.
Keep in mind that you can mute or solo the instruments on a shared channel independently.
Simply toggle the Instrument select button for that channel to access the other instrument.
4.1.4.2. Clear the Group
Rather than entering Mute/Solo mode and de-selecting each pad in the group, you can clear
the group immediately by holding the Shift button and pressing the Mute/Solo button. Then
make a new group by selecting the instruments you want in it.
