8. PART MUTE
Part Mute is an exercise which you can mute any or all of the drum parts (such as snare and kick) and the instru-
ment parts (non-drum parts) from a song. You can select the drum parts/instrument parts to be muted by pressing
the corresponding number buttons. Part Mute can be useful in many ways—for example, for practicing only the
snare part of a rhythm, or for tightening up your rhythm section skills by practicing only with a bass guitar sound.
Keep in mind that this exercise is not scored.

TIPS
Drum parts can be muted by striking the pads.
- Press the [DRUM ON/OFF] button (so that it is
half-lit).
- Strike the pad corresponding to the part from the
practice drum pattern you wish to mute. The
selected part will be muted and the corresponding
number button will be half lit.
- If the pad corresponding to the muted drum part is
not struck for certain period of time, it will be auto-
matically unmuted and the corresponding number
button will light up.
- Press the [DRUM ON/OFF] button (so that it is
fully lit) to end the mute settings.
If the part is already muted (the corresponding number but-
ton is turned off), the pad remains muted.
