Hi again,
?
A quick look over at the FAQ (page 14-15) it seems like this would mute/unmute (while still preserving the volume level of muted tracks (when unmuted):
?
I changed the text of the FAQ below to be specific to your C1 thru C4 question:
?
So, In ANY song track, go to the "Edit" screen and the to the "Insert" screen. Change the "Note" parameter to "XG Exc Multi", then change "ElRsrv" to "RcvCh.". The first number is the Part and the second is the receive channel. Set the first number to "21" for C1 and increment the second number up until it says "OFF" (i think the value is 127). Of course you want to set the Measure:Beat:Clock to where you want the mute to occur.
?
Therefore, To MUTE C1 on measure 2, it should look like this:
M002 XG Exc Multi ?
1:000xRcvCh. 21 OFF
(Mutes Pattern part C1)
Conversely, To UNMUTE C1 back on in measure 3, just set Part 21 to listen to channel 21 again:
M003 XG Exc Multi
1:000xRcvCh. 21 21
(Unmutes Pattern part C1)
Be careful about setting the receive channel to match up with the Part number when you want to unmute it.
Note: You would only need to change the 21 in the above to 22, 23, or 24 to mute/unmute C2, C3, or C4 respectively.
?
I hope that helps. ?

Slightly off-topic: ?I also made a rudimentary wireless MIDI controller using an arduino …I tried to make a wireless drumstick (of sorts) using an accelerometer board.. but I neglected to get one with a magnometer so it kept going eventually into gimbal lock, LOL….PLUS the wireless latentcy/delay was too high to make it useful. ? ?Anyway if you have any basic arduino questions regarding MIDI I might be able to provide some insight (but its been a while). ?BTW, Wireless midi on arduino will very likely have too much latency for your needs so wired is probably best way to go…although this might be better under Bluetooth 5.x and MIDI 2.0 ?

Cheers,
Eric ?
