Copying Sounds - Alesis QSR 64 Reference Manual

Mute Group (Off, 1, 2, or 3)
This is an important feature when using multiple sounds of the same instrument.
Mute Groups allow multiple drums to share a single voice. For example, if you have
assigned a Closed Hat and an Open Hat to two different notes, playing either note
should cut-off the other (if it had recently been played). This creates a more realistic
sound, since an actual Hi Hat is only capable of making one sound at a time.
In the Amp Envelope function, Page 2 is used to assign the selected drum to one of
the three Mute Groups. In our example above, both Hi Hat drums would be assigned
to the same Mute Group. The additional Mute Groups can be used by other sounds
that you wish to cut-off each other, but do not want to interfere with the Hi Hat
sounds.
