OPEN AND CLOSED HI-HAT WITH MUTE GROUP ON
In the first diagram, the open hi-hat continues to sound even though the
closed hi-hat is played. In the second example, however, the open hi-
hat is shut off by the closed hi-hat thereby creating a more natural effect.
This function may also be used to emulate the characteristics of older
drum machines. On these early drum machines, whilst they offered
maybe 8 voice polyphony, each individual drum sound was usually
monophonic. This only became apparent when you tried to perform a
snare roll or something similar. Instead of the snare’s natural decay being
allowed to sound, the next hit would cut the previous one dead resulting
in a rather unnatural staccato effect. Of course, at the time, this was
undesirable but the dictates of musical fashion now say that this effect is
quite popular in some music styles!! By assigning your snare drum into
a mute group, you may re-create this effect. For example:
SNARE DRUM ROLL WITH MUTE GROUP OFF
In this example, each snare hit is allowed to decay naturally.
SNARE DRUM ROLL WITH MUTE GROUP ON
In this example, each hit is cut short by the next one.
On the S1000 and S1000 and in early versions of S2800, S3000 and
S3200 software, you needed to create a separate program, make it 1
voice polyphonic and assign it the same program number as the rest of
your drums. Now, you may do all this within one program which you may
find more convenient.
