    When Mute is engaged, the cab's font grays out, indicating that the cab is not active. When Solo is engaged, other cabs should gray out. For example, the attached screenshot, Cab 4 is muted and therefore grayed out. But since Solo is active on Cab 3, Cabs 1 & 2 should gray out as well since...

    Best Practices For Updating To Cygnus?
