[. . . ] This is especially useful when playing back several Parts from a connected computer or sequencer. Mute lets you silence one Part to hear how all of the other Parts sound without it. Solo lets you isolate a single Part, to hear how that Part sounds by itself. In the Performance mode, Mute and Solo are especially effective tools that help you as you edit the Parts, since they allow you to better hear how the changes you make affect specific Voices as well as the overall sound of the Performance. Using Mute/Solo Operation 1 Select the desired Part. Make sure the Single Part mode is active (see page 96), then use the [PART -/+] buttons to select the Part.

You can use it to sing or play guitar over backing tracks played from a MIDI sequencer. In this section, you'll learn how to: Set up the MU100 for using the A/D input. Call up the A/D input presets.
