Native Instruments Maschine Reference Manual

MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 80
Resetting a Sound
4.8 Mute & Solo
Muting is used to bypass the audio signal of either a Sound or a Group, whereas Soloing is
pretty much the opposite: it mutes all other Sounds and Groups, so that you can listen to the
selected Sound or Group alone. The combination of both is a useful means to play live and
to test different sequences together.
Hardware
Soloing Sounds and Groups
► Press SOLO and hold it: now you can solo Sounds by hitting their Pads, and Groups by
hitting the corresponding Group Buttons.
Solo is a temporary mode, therefore you will have to hold SOLO to access it. If you press
SOLO and Button 1 at the same time, the Solo function gets locked, e.g. you stay in Solo
Mode until you press SOLO again. There are two more functions in the Solo Mode: All On
(press Button 3) to turn all Sounds on and None (press Button 4) to turn all Sounds of the
Group currently in focus off.
