Really basic question RE: muting

Hey all!
Former MD owner here just refreshing myself on the basics again now that I am back in the game (for good this time)
I seem to recall there being a way to mute playing tracks by holding down FUNCTION and simply pressing on the tracks rather than using the MUTE menu - is this a thing? If so, is there a setting that needs to be enabled for that to work?

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Hold [FUNCTION] and press [A/E] to access the Track Mute window. Then you can use the TRIG keys as you wish. Then release [FUNCTION].

See manual, pages 44 and 45, for more details.

Cheers! - ok I think I was probably misremembering something from a different machine then.

Octatrack does that at least. But could it be you’re thinking of holding func in the mute menu? The states you flip while holding func don’t come into effect until you release it.
