Playing with Your Pattern

Now that you have a nice Pattern, let's introduce a few powerful tools for playing your Pattern
live.
3.4.1

Using Solo and Mute

Mute can be used to bypass a Sound or Group, whereas Solo is the opposite: Solo will mute all
other Sounds in the Group, or all other Groups in the Project, so a selected Sound, or Group
