Preventing Samples from Playing Back at the Same Time (MUTE GROUP)
The MUTE GROUP function lets you group together all the samples that should not play at the same time (in other words, the
samples you don’t want to layer).
When you try and play the samples within that group all at the same time, only the sample that started playing back last is heard.
A group can consist of up to 16 samples. You can also register up to 10 groups (groups A–J).
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the pad [8].
The MUTE GROUP screen appears.
2. Turn the [VALUE] knob to select the group (A-J).
3. Press pads [1]–[16] to select the samples you want to include in the group.
4. To finish making the settings , press the [EXIT] button.
Out of the pads (samples) in the same group, sound is played back only for the last pad you play.
