In the absence of graduation, timbre variation may help (Wave Form 1 low = CH1, WF 1 High = CH2, WF 2 Low = CH3, etc...) + +MUTE BUTTON: +Sends ALL NOTE OFF on selected channel and stay in mute until it's pushed again. + + + + + ### LICENSE Written by Urs Gaudenz, GaudiLabs, 2016 GNU license, check LICENSE file for more information
