For example, you can mute the drum track by holding down MUTE and then pressing
DRUM. To un-mute the drums, press the DRUM button again while MUTE is being
held down.
You can layer sounds from any of the three categories (Drums, Percussion,
Bass) by pressing the corresponding button (DRUMS, PERC, BASS) and then
playing out a sequence on the pads.
