Muting the Sound of a Specific Pad When
You Strike a Pad (MUTE GROUP)
Mute group settings let you specify that when you strike
a pad, other pads in the same mute group are muted
(silenced).
For example, you could assign user samples to the
instruments of each pad, and make mute group settings
so that you can switch between user samples by striking
different pads.
