CHAINS AND SONGS
46
Repeat a song row a chosen number of times by moving to the leftmost position of the song row with the cursor.
Turn DATA ENTRY knob A to select how many times the song row will be repeated.
You can selectively mute tracks of any pattern while in song edit mode. First, make sure MUTE mode is on. If
not, press [MUTE] and make sure the adjacent LED 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/SAVE]. 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 LCD 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 pat-
tern using the [ARROW] keys and press [YES/SAVE]. Song mutes are pattern specific. Different patterns can
have different song muted tracks. Note that it is the pattern at a specific position in the song which will be
affected: if, for example, pattern A01 is used in multiple places in the song and the top left instance of it is being
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/SAVE] and add mutes as instructed above. In addition
to being shown on the LCD screen, muted tracks in a song are also shown with dimly lit green color <PADS>
when a pattern is highlighted. Unmuted tracks will, as in regular MUTE mode, exhibit green color <PADS>.
• When a song contains programmed mutes, the LED adjacent to the [MUTE] key and the LEDs
adjacent to 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.
