3.1.5 Multimutes
The Multimutes are eight programmable mute
buttons which allow you to mute and unmute
multiple pads at once. Right-click a Multimute
to pop up a list of all the pads – any currently-
ticked entries are controlled from that Multimute. Click on a note name in the
popup menu to add that pad to the current Multimute. Left-click a Multimute
button to toggle it on/off. When the Multimute changes state, it applies the same
change to all pads assigned to it. – they are all muted or unmuted together.
3.1.6 Rude Solo Light
The Rude Solo Light is a simple indicator, as found on many mixing consoles, to
show whether any pads are currently soloed. If it’s lit, one or more pads is soloed.
3.1.7 Octave buttons
The Octave Buttons allow you to jump quickly between any of the eight octaves of
pads in either Mix or Edit modes. Click a button to be taken instantly to that octave.
3.1.8 Window Selectors
The Window Selectors work much like the Task Bar next to the Start menu in
Windows. They allow you to select between any currently-active popup module
editor, and bring it to the foreground by clicking on it. The currently-selected
module editor window is highlighted.
3.2 Workspace and View Modes
The Workspace is where each of the pads is displayed, along with its
settings such as volume, pan, mute, solo – exactly what gets displayed
depends on the view mode. There are four view modes available:-
Overview – which shows every pad on screen, in a 12x8 grid.
Details – shows more information than Overview, but can’t show all the
pads at once. Has a vertical scrollbar for navigating between pads.
