Global Mute affects all patterns simultaneously while Pattern Mute affects only the active pattern

The Digitakt II has two mute scopes. Global Mute mode ([FUNC]+[TRK]): muted tracks are muted across all patterns — useful for suppressing a track for an entire performance section regardless of pattern changes. Pattern Mute mode ([FUNC]+double-press [TRK]): muted tracks are muted only in the active pattern — useful for per-pattern variation where certain tracks don’t play in specific parts of the arrangement. Global Mute is shown with green keys, Pattern Mute with magenta. The prepared mute gesture (hold [FUNC], press trigs, release [FUNC]) allows mute changes to take effect simultaneously for clean, beat-aligned drops. The last-used mute mode is remembered and accessed first on the next [FUNC]+[TRK] press. Mute states can optionally send MIDI data (MUTE DEST setting) for integration with external gear.

Examples

In a live set: use Global Mute to kill all percussion tracks for a breakdown. Use Pattern Mute in pattern A04 to permanently have the hihat absent in that specific pattern.

Assessment

If you Global Mute track 3 and then switch to pattern B02, is track 3 still muted? What about Pattern Mute?
