Mute Group (Off, 1, 2, or 3) Page 2

This is an important feature when using multiple sounds of the same instrument. Mute Groups allow multiple drums to share a single voice. For example, if you have assigned a Closed Hat and an Open Hat to two different notes, playing either note should cut-off the other (if it had recently been played). This creates a more realistic sound, since an actual Hi Hat is only capable of making one sound at a time.

In the Amp Envelope function, Page 2 is used to assign the selected drum to one of the three Mute Groups. In our example above, both Hi Hat drums would be assigned to the same Mute Group. The additional Mute Groups can be used by other sounds that you wish to cut-off each other, but do not want to interfere with the Hi Hat sounds.
