Korg Microarranger - drum mutes?

[paulyuk6]

Hi folks

Maybe the more experienced of you could advise me on this point:

If I have a style playing (for instance one of the dance or disco styles). I'd like to start it off with (for example) just the kick drum playing, then add the snare and then maybe a hihat, and so on, to build the rhythm up.
To do this I need to be able to mute the various instruments within the drum track and then unmute them one by one.
Now obviously I can see how to mute/unmute an entire arranger part (such as turning off the drum track entirely) but how do I control the individual drum sounds within the track, while the pattern is playing?

All advice grapefruitly received!

Page 46 of your manual says you can do this.

Thanks for that suggestion.
Page 46 mentions about volume adjustment of the various drum parts.
Which would probably work, but I don't think this would give an immediate mute/unmute function as you'd need to scroll the numbers up or down to increase or reduce the volume. Anyway, I'll give that a try, unless someone else has an alternative suggestion.

You could create custom styles where each STS adds more drum parts.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that too!
