Basic Operation t MUTE (SOLO) This button can be used in conjunction with the keyboard to mute or solo specific tracks. Tracks which are muted produce no sound during playback. If a track is soloed, only that track will be heard during playback. To mute any number of tracks in the PATTERN or SONG mode, press the KEYBOARD [MUTE] button. The [MUTE] button indicator will flash. Next, press the keys corresponding to the tracks you want to mute - an "M" will appear above the track numbers of muted tracks on the LCD Display. Each time a key is pressed while the MUTE mode is engaged the corresponding track will be alternately muted and unmuted. You can then disengage the MUTE mode by pressing the [MUTE] button a second time (the [MUTE] button indicator will go out), and the current mute settings will remain in effect. Five separate mute setups can be memorized for instant recall as described in the "Mute Memory" section, below. While the [MUTE] button indicator is flashing it is also possible to mute all tracks simultaneously by pressing the black key labeled [ALL]. In the same way tracks 1 through 8 can be muted at once by pressing the [1-8] key. In this case the remaining tracks (9 through 16) will all be un-muted. The [916] key mutes tracks 9 through 16 while un-muting tracks 1 through 8. Pressing the next black key (C#) or the one next to that (BPM) will un-mute all muted tracks. Mute Memory While the MUTE mode is engaged, the MUTE MEMORY buttons (the highest 5 black keys) can be used in conjunction with the [SHIFT] button to memorize the current mute setup: press a MUTE MEMORY button while holding the [SHIFT] button. Up to 5 different mute setups can be memorized in this way. Memorized mute setups can be instantly recalled while the MUTE mode is engaged simply by pressing the appropriate MUTE MEMORY button. t SECTION Styles in the RM1x PATTERN mode can have up to 16 "sections," - "A" through "P." Each section is effectively a separate pattern, and different sections can be used for introductions, variations, breaks, endings, etc. The SECTION mode allows the keyboard to be used for direct section selection, allowing you to quickly change sections during playback. When the KEYBOARD [SECTION] button is pressed the [SECTION] button indicator will flash, keyboard indicators corresponding to sections which contain data will light, and the keyboard indicator corresponding to the currently selected section will flash. The current section is also shown by the "SEC" parameter on the LCD Display. To select a different section, simply press the appropriate key. Press the [SECTION] button a second time to disengage the SECTION mode (the [SECTION] button indicator will go out). Only a single un-muted track can be soloed at a time, and unlike the mute settings, the solo function will be disengaged when the MUTE mode is disengaged. To solo a track, press the [MUTE] button while holding the [SHIFT] button. The [MUTE] button indicator will flash at a faster rate than when the MUTE mode is engaged, and the indicator above the currently soloed track will flash. Simply press a different key to solo a different track, then press the [MUTE] button a second time (the [MUTE] button indicator will go out) to disengage the SOLO mode. 28 RM1x SEQUENCE REMIXER
