NOTE
The “solo” and “mute” that can be specied in the PATTERN screen refer to “soloing or muting a track”. Be aware that these are dierent
functions than the “soloing or muting a zone” that can be specied in the MIXER screen, and that they operate independently. Zones
that are muted in the MIXER screen do not sound even if you play the keyboard, but muting a zone in the PATTERN screen does not
aect how it can be played by the keyboard.
