Silencing the Playback of a Track (Mute)

If you wish to silence specific instruments during playback, you can

mute the appropriate Phrase track containing that sequencer data.

1.Access the Song Edit screen (p. 136).

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Status” for the track that you want to silence.

Tracks in which no sequencer data has been recorded are

displayed as “EMPTY.”

3.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.
