Menu: Program/Synth/Osc/Select
Parameter: Mute Group
Value Range: None, Self, A to P
This allows you to mute one oscillator when another is played.
Certain percussion sounds mute other sounds when played in succession.
For example, when you play an open hi-hat and then follow it with a
closed hi-hat, the closed hi-hat stops the open hat from ringing. By
assigning individual oscillators to the same mute group (groups range
from A through P) you can have one oscillator mute another oscillator’s
output as soon as you play it.
You can also assign an instrument to mute itself by setting the parameter
to Self. This is commonly used to save polyphony on drum sounds with
long decay times (such as ride cymbals). Instead of repeatedly triggering
a new voice (and thus, quickly eating up your polyphony), you can stop
and re-trigger the same voice.
