Re: Can I mute individual instruments?

2003-01-23 by fakepopster <raydene@netzero.net>

Jeff, I don't know about the capabilities of the newer playing 
systems or their proprietary software but for midi files this is 
easily done on your computer.  I suppose it would depend on the 
format of the files you are playing but most have individual 
instruments on individual tracks.  All you have to do is delete the 
track from the song.  You can use any number of sequencing programs 
to do this.  I use Anvil Studio.  It's free to download.  Like I say, 
I have an old Disklavier and there may be an easier way to accomplish 
this on a new system.
