just a little trick i discovered... it says in manual that f you enter the mute screen and hold function you can cue up several mutes/unmutes that activate when you release the function button. what it doesn't say is that once you cue your mutes/unmutes you can then press the mute button again (while still holding function) to exit the mute screen, your cued mutes don't activate at this point, however when you return to the mute screen your cued mutes are still there and ready to go.
what i use this for is to cue up my mutes for the next part of a track, exit the screen, tweak parameters like crazy, then quickly press function + mute and all the cued mutes/unmutes kick in right away.
it's a really handy trick and i can't imagine why it wouldn't be documented in the manual.

this works in a similar way with the pattern selection also. if you hold down the bank button (A,B,C,D...) then press function, then release the bank button, then release function, the available patterns will remain selectable until you choose one (instead of just a couple of seconds) or press the exit button.
i always found it hard to change patterns if i was tweaking the knobs but not anymore!!
didnt know about this!
