Be careful when you're increasing the volume and keep an eye on the peak level meter above
the slider; if it hits the right border in loud passages, the level is set too high, which will cause
clipping artifacts in the audio output.
The panorama control is positioned to the left of the volume slider:
Panorama position slider
Click and drag it horizontally to place the Instrument's signal within the stereo panorama.
At its center position, the signal is played back with no change; setting it all the way to the
left (value 100L) will make the signal disappear entirely from the right channel, and vice versa.

4.4.3 Using Mute and Solo

When you're actively working on an arrangement or a Multi, it's often helpful to temporarily
exclude certain Instruments from the mix or to isolate a single element for making better
judgments. You can do this with the buttons labeled S (Solo) and M (Mute) in the Instrument
Header:
Solo (S) and Mute (M) switches
Clicking on the Mute switch will exclude the signal of an Instrument from the mix; as a re-
minder, the button will be highlighted. Click on it again to switch the signal back into the mix.
Similarly, when you click on the Solo switch, all other Instruments in your Multi will be muted,
so you'll hear the one you selected in isolation. You can also put multiple Instruments into
solo mode; in that case, the mute status of the remaining Instruments will persist until you
have switched off the last active solo button.
