Pad Mute Mode

Pad Mute Mode lets you easily mute pads within a Program or set Mute Groups for each pad.

In the software, click the Pad Mute tab in the Mode Tab Section.

Pad Mute

You can mute or unmute individual sounds in real time by hitting the pads. This is useful if you want to

hear a Sequence without a particular sound or if you want to isolate specific sounds or combinations of

sounds.

Tip: This function is similar to, but probably more convenient than, muting pads one at a time in the grid.

In the software, do the following to use Pad Mute:

1. Click the Pad Mute button in the Mute Section to activate it.

2. Click the desired bank (A – H) in the Bank section or Pad Bank section.

3. Click a pad in the Pad Bank section to mute or unmute its assigned sound. Muted pads are lit red;

unmuted pads are lit yellow.

Alternatively, you can click the the miniature pads in Bank section. This section gives you an

overview of all 128 pads at the same time. Unused pads are grayed out.

Time Correct lets you quantize Pad Mutes. This is useful when you want your mutes to line up with a

specific time division. Click the Time Correct drop-down menu and select a value from 1/16th (sixteenth

notes) to 2 bar (2 bars). For example, with Time Correct set to 1 bar, your mutes will always align with

the beginning of the measure immediately after you press the pad.
