Quick Mute
Quick mutes are temporary; they are useful when you have a Drum Pattern running and
want to mute one or more drum tracks/sounds that are too much for your ears at that
moment or are preventing you from focusing on what you want to edit. To mute one or more
drum tracks/sounds while creating your Pattern or during a performance:
•
Enter Drum mode if you are not already in it by pressing the Track 1 Drum button.
•
Hold down the Track 1 Mute button.
•
Press the key or keys corresponding to the drum track(s)/sound(s) you want to
silence. The key LED(s) will light up in red continuously to indicate where the
mutes are.
Quick mutes are remembered for all Patterns on that Drum track. For example, if you mute
the bass drum on C1 in Pattern 1, it will also be muted in Patterns 2 to 32 when they play. In
other words, drum muting is global for all 24 tracks. To unmute, hold down the Track 1 Mute
button and press the key(s) for the Drum track(s)/sound(s) you want to hear.
♪: When one or more Drum tracks are muted, the Mute button will flash. When the entire Drum
sequencer is muted, the Mute button will be lit continuously.
Drum Mute Mode
You can also mute drums by entering Drum Mute mode.
•
Hold down the Track 1 Mute button and press Drum.
Both the Mute and the Drum button will now flash. As long as you are in this mode, all you
have to do is press the key of a drum track to mute or unmute it.
To unmute all muted tracks, hold down SHIFT and press Drum.
♪: To solo the Drum sequencer, hold down SHIFT and press the Mute button.
5.4.3.5. Using the Main Encoders
In Drum mode, the five main encoders can be used to edit the parameters of the current
Drum track.
Gate
The Gate time parameter is used to adjust the length of notes. Possible values are from 1/
64th of a step (short) to 64 steps (long). These values can be set independently for each step
in a Pattern.
By default, the Gate time is set to half a step length for each event.
