Muting The Playback Of A Sample (Pad Mute) - Roland SP-404MK2 Reference Manual

Playing Back Samples (SAMPLE MODE)

Muting the Playback of a Sample (PAD MUTE)

You can momentarily mute (silence) the playback of a sample.
By using part mute on a sample that's playing back, you can create a break.
1. Press a pad to play its sample.
You can mute individual samples, either one or more than one, or mute individual samples when a pattern is playing back.
2. In sample mode, hold down the [SHIFT] button and [REVERSE] button and press the pad (sample) you
want to mute.
Muted pads (samples) light up red.
To unmute a pad, hold down the [SHIFT] button and [REVERSE] button and press the pad (sample) you want to unmute.
●
You can also unmute a pad by pressing the [EXIT] button four times to stop the sample playback.
●
When a pattern is selected (the pad lights up purple), the pad can't be muted. To mute a pad, press the [PATTERN SELECT]
button and switch to sample mode (the pad lights up orange).
When PAD MUTE (SYSTEM parameter) is set to "MASTER", the sound of the pad can be output from the PHONES jack, even if the
pad (sample) is muted (this lets you monitor the sounds from the pads). In this case, no effects are applied.
Refer to the "Pad Mute(P.108)" SYSTEM parameter for details.
