3.6.4.1
About Mute and Mute (T)
Most	
  of	
  the	
  parameters	
  found	
  in	
  the	
  V-‐Machine’s	
  panel	
  either	
  relate	
  to	
  a	
  specific	
  plugin,	
  or	
  are	
  
Mixer	
  settings	
  whose	
  meanings	
  will	
  be	
  instantly	
  clear	
  to	
  anyone	
  who	
  has	
  ever	
  used	
  an	
  audio	
  
mixer.	
  For	
  information	
  on	
  the	
  parameters	
  specific	
  to	
  a	
  plugin,	
  you’ll	
  need	
  to	
  consult	
  the	
  
owner’s	
  manual	
  for	
  the	
  plugin.	
  However,	
  two	
  of	
  the	
  Mixer	
  parameters	
  require	
  a	
  bit	
  of	
  
explanation.
The V-‐Machine provides two ways of muting and soloing its Mixer channels. You can use the
Mute	
  and	
  Solo	
  parameters,	
  or	
  use	
  Mute(T)	
  and	
  Solo(T).	
  When	
  used	
  from	
  the	
  front	
  panel,	
  they	
  
function	
  identically.	
  However,	
  they	
  respond	
  differently	
  to	
  MIDI	
  control	
  change	
  messages	
  when	
  
assigned	
  using	
  the	
  Learn	
  command.	
  
The (T) stands for the word “toggle.” A toggle is a switch that turns on and off. But the normal
Mute and Solo parameters are toggles, so how are Mute(T) and Solo(T) different?
To observe the difference, first select Mute(T) for a channel that has an active instrument in it.
Then	
  press	
  the	
  Learn	
  dual	
  button	
  command	
  and	
  move	
  your	
  keyboard’s	
  mod	
  wheel	
  to	
  assign	
  
mod	
  wheel	
  (CC1)	
  messages	
  temporarily	
  to	
  Mute(T).	
  Move	
  the	
  wheel	
  upward	
  very	
  slowly,	
  while	
  
playing	
  the	
  keyboard.	
  You	
  will	
  hear	
  the	
  channel	
  being	
  muted	
  and	
  unmuted	
  repeatedly.	
  Each	
  
time	
  a	
  new	
  CC1	
  message	
  is	
  received,	
  the	
  channel	
  will	
  be	
  alternately	
  muted	
  (if	
  it	
  is	
  currently	
  not	
  
muted)	
  or	
  unmuted	
  (if	
  it	
  is	
  currently	
  muted).	
  The	
  channel’s	
  mute	
  status	
  is	
  toggled	
  by	
  each	
  CC1	
  
message	
  it	
  receives.	
  This	
  makes	
  it	
  useful	
  with	
  MIDI-‐assignable	
  buttons	
  that	
  transmit	
  a	
  single	
  
control	
  change	
  value	
  each	
  time	
  they’re	
  pressed.	
  
To continue exploring this feature, next you should unlearn this assignment:
• Make sure Mute(T) for this channel is selected as the parameter.
