silences the output from every patch in the concert.

µ
Press Control-M.
µ
In the toolbar, click the Master Mute button.
µ
If you have mapped the Master Mute function to a screen control, press or move the
corresponding controller.
The Master Mute button changes to show that the output is muted (a red diagonal line
covers the speaker icon). All output remains muted until you click the Master Mute button
again.

Master Mute is also a mappable parameter in the Parameter Mapping browser. You can
map Master Mute to a button or other controller in your concerts so that you can quickly
mute all output when you are playing live in Perform or Full Screen mode.
In addition, you can mute audio output for a single channel strip by clicking its Mute (M)
button.
