12. CHAINS AND SONGS

You can selectively mute the sequencers tracks of any pattern while in song edit mode. First, make sure

MUTE mode is on. If not, press [MUTE] and make sure the [MUTE] key is fully lit. Then, in the song

editor, place the cursor on the pattern you wish to mute tracks on using the [ARROW] keys and press

[YES]. Press and hold the [SONG MODE] key + press the [PADS] of the drum tracks you wish to mute.

The mute graphics on the bottom right of the screen will show the muted tracks with a (-) symbol.

Unmuted tracks are shown as squares. To mute tracks of another pattern in the song, simply move the

cursor to that pattern using the [ARROW] keys and press [YES]. Song mutes are pattern speciﬁc. Dif-

ferent patterns can have dierent song muted tracks. Note that it is the pattern at a speciﬁc position in

the song which will be aected: if for example, pattern A01 is used in multiple places in the song and the

top left instance of it is track muted, all other instances of pattern A01 will remain unchanged. To mute

the tracks of another pattern position, simply place the cursor on top of it, press [YES] and add mutes as

instructed above. In addition to being shown on the screen, muted tracks in a song are also shown with

unlit <PADS> when a pattern is highlighted. Unmuted tracks is shown with green-yellow color <PADS>.

When a song contains programmed mutes, the [MUTE] key and the [SONG MODE] and

[CHAIN MODE] keys will be dimly lit, whether any of these modes are active or not. This

feature is intended to help show that there are active song mutes in one of the patterns.

Additionally, whenever a pattern containing song mutes is selected, and MUTE mode is

active, the <PADS> sporting programmed mutes will exhibit a dim green color (unless the

song muted tracks are already muted in regular MUTE mode, in which case the <PADS>

will simply be unlit).

Even outside of SONG EDIT, song mutes may be instantly added to any track of the active

pattern in a chain or song. Just activate MUTE mode by pressing the [MUTE] key. Then, as

in SONG EDIT, press and hold [SONG MODE] and tap the [PADS] of the tracks you wish to

mute.
