THE SEQUENCER - BASICS

Mute and Solo
To mute a track means to silence it, so that no data is sent from the track dur-
ing playback. This can be very useful when you are trying out different ver-
sions of an arrangement, for bringing elements in and out of the mix during
playback, etc.
➜ To mute (silence) a track, click in the M column in the track list.
The notes and events on the muted track will not be heard on playback.
A red cross indicates a muted track.
To unmute the track, click in the M column again. Several tracks can be
muted at the same time.
➜ You can also solo a track, by holding down [Option] (Mac) / [Alt]
(Windows) and clicking in the M column.
This mutes all other (unsoloed) tracks.
Here, the track Redrum 1 is soloed (indicated by a red frame).
To turn off the solo function for the track, [Option]/[Alt]-click in the M col-
umn again. Several tracks can be soloed at the same time.
✪ It is possible to change the mute status of tracks while in solo
mode, by clicking in the M column. The change you make will be re-
flected when you turn off the solo function.
! Muting a track will not affect the notes played from a pattern se-
quencer in a pattern device!
For example, if you mute a track that is connected to a Redrum
drum machine device, the drum pattern played by the device will
still be heard. However, any notes you have recorded on the track
(using the Redrum as a “sound module”) will be muted, as will any
recorded pattern changes.
What else can I do in the
sequencer?
This chapter has only touched briefly on the capabilities of the sequencer. In
the electronic documentation you will find detailed descriptions of the follow-
ing sequencer functions and procedures:
• Recording pattern changes and control automation.
• Rearranging recorded material in the Arrange View.
• Editing recorded notes, controllers and pattern changes.
• Quantizing and using grooves.
• Manual creation of notes and controllers.
• Using groups.
• Importing and exporting MIDI files.
