[in menu Modify/Volume operations]

This operation mutes a MIDI voice by one of four available methods. This is useful to remove parts that real musicians play live in a band or for muting voices that are replaced by karaoke singers.

Tracks:

Choose track if you want to mute all channels in a certain track or if you want to mute a certain channel only in one track.

Channels:

Select one or more channels that should be muted.

Hint: If you select only tracks then any channels on this track are used for mute operation.
Hint: If you select only channels then any tracks that contain these channels are used for mute operation.
Hint: If you select tracks and channels then only those tracks are used that contain one of the given channels.

Method:

Delete all events deletes all commands on the matching channels and tracks

Silent (volume 0) sets volume of matching channels to 0

Delete notes deletes only the notes on the matching channels and tracks

Silent notes (low velocity) sets velocity values of the notes on the matching channels and tracks to a low value (1)

Hint: Silent (volume 0) method is useful if you want to sing a muted melody (karaoke) and still need the notes displayed on screen with a sequencer or a special MIDI player.

Hint: Delete notes method is useful if you want to play these deleted notes self with original settings.

Hint: The operation can't be undone so you need to keep your original MIDI files if you want the muted tracks back.

Hint: With the option Remove all commands you can delete a channel completely.
