Turn the VALUE dial or press [DEC] to select “MUTE.”

Note that if you save a song with a Phrase track muted in the
Standard MIDI File format, that Phrase track’s data will not be
saved. If you save a song that has a muted Phrase track in the
MRC Pro song format, the mute status of the track will also be
saved.

If you set the tempo track (Tempo) “Status” to “MUTE,” the
tempo track will be muted. If tempo changes have been
recorded in a song, but you want to play the song at a fixed
tempo, you can mute the tempo track.

Markers can be assigned to any location in a song. These are called

Locate Positions.

Normally, locations in a song are indicated as

“measure-beat-tick,” but a locate position is also displayed as an
absolute time of “hours:minutes:seconds:frames.”

It is not possible to assign a locate position to a pattern.
