MUTE].
[PART SELECT] and [PART MUTE] will light, and part
buttons [R] and [1]–[7] will function as Rhythm Tone
Mute buttons ([BD]–[OTHERS]).
2. Press the [BD]–[OTHERS] button for the part that you
wish to mute, making the indicator blink.
The corresponding rhythm instrument will be muted.

Applying the mute status to the next

[HOLD], this function will be cancelled.
2. Turn [VALUE] to select the next pattern.
After a time, the newly selected pattern will begin
playing, using the current Part Mute settings.
* Mute Remain will be cancelled automatically.
