Title: PDF Manual: mute function?
Post by: pipo on November 21, 2015, 11:26:19 am
When I search for "mute" in the manual, there's 0 results.

Is there any way to mute only a part of a sequence? Not the all sequence, only a part?
I need to be able to mute the bass drum for instance in my drum sequence, or I can't use the Beatstep Pro!

Thanx in advance.

Hi

Hold down the DRUM BUTTON and MUTE BUTTON at the same time and now press the drum pad you want mute

The mute  button will now start flashing.  to UN mute  just press the the mute button again

it wont UN mute until you release the mute button, so you can bring the drum back in the mix on time

I hope this helps

cheers
KEV

Thanx Key.
I very much appreciate your help here!
I thought I did that, but I'm gonna download the last firmware like it is stated in the top of the threads and try again.
Nice.

EDIT:
Even with the first firmware version it works. I just checked!
It mean I did not do it right before.

Hi pipo,

"3.3.7 Sequencer Mute

Each sequencer has a dedicated MUTE button, which is great for live performances and creative sessions.
They can help you focus on the interactions of any two sequencers at a time, or you can use them to work on one of the patterns without hearing the others.

For the drum sequencer, you can choose to mute only specific pads by holding the DRUM button and MUTE button simultaneously, and pressing the pads you want to mute.
The Drum  sequencer’s  MUTE  button  will  blink  to  show  that  some  of  the  drum  tracks  are muted.

The status of the MUTE buttons is not stored with the Project."
