Muting and Soloing Tracks...
While working on your song, you may occasionally want to mute one or more tracks in order to
listen closely to other parts. Similarly, you may want to hear only one or more specific tracks.
This is called "soloing" a track(s.) Here's how it's done.
1. From SONG mode, press the MIXER button to the left of the Fusion's display. Your screen will
look like the following.
Across the top of the display, you'll notice the parameter "Control Knobs/Triggers:" This
parameter tells you what tracks your Control Knobs and T1 – T4 buttons are currently
controlling. By rotating the Control Wheel, you can change the assignment of these real-time
controllers from tracks 1-4 to tracks 2-5, 3-6, etc. in order to control other tracks available on
your mixer.
Along the display's right, you see four buttons for Send 1, Send 2, Pan, and Volume that select
what the Fusion's four Control Knobs will control. Beneath these, you will see two buttons for
selecting the function of the T1 – T4 trigger buttons.
Mute a track...
1. Press the Enable button on the display's lower right. The T1 – T4 trigger buttons are now set to
Enable.
2. Press Play to start playback.
3. Press the T-1 and T-2 buttons simultaneously. The drums will be muted and the T1 and T2
buttons will be dimly lit (notice the T3 and T4 buttons will be brightly lit).
Solo a track...
1. Press the Solo button in the display's lower left. The T1 – T4 trigger buttons are now set to the
Fusion's solo function.
2. Press Play to start playback.
3. Press the T-1 and T-2 buttons. The drums are now playing solo and the T1 and T2 buttons are
brightly lit compared to the T3 and T4 buttons.
Pan and Volume Settings
You can change the Pan and Volume settings just like the Mute and Solo functions described
above. Here's how it's done.
Altering the Pan position for a track...
1. While in MIXER mode, press the Pan button to the right of the display. The four Real-Time
Control Knobs are now assigned to Pan.
2. Press Play to start playback. You should only hear the bass guitar.
3. The right-most Real-Time Control Knob is currently assigned to track 4, the bass. Rotate this
knob and move the bass guitar left and right in your stereo field.
