Editing a Mix
In this section, we will assign Programs to and set volume levels for the 16 MIDI
channels in a Mix, for playing back tracks from a MIDI sequencer. However, there is
much more about a Mix that may be edited. Refer to Chapter 5 for more about Mix
editing.
Press [MIX] and select a Mix using one of the three methods described above.
Press [SELECT].
The top line of the LCDÕs function list will read ÒEDITING: MIXÓ.
Simultaneously press both the FUNCTION [¬] and [®] buttons.

PROGRAM – ASSIGN LEVEL EFFECT–LEVEL
Use the MIDI [¬] and [®] buttons to select a MIDI channel for editing.
The MIDI monitor and selection strip will indicate the selected MIDI channel with an
underline . These buttons Òwrap aroundÓ (e.g., if youÕre on channel 16 and press MIDI
[®], youÕll select channel 1. If channel 1 is selected and you press MIDI [¬], youÕll
select channel 16).
Use Quad Knob [3] to choose between Preset and User Programs.
Use Quad Knob [1] to select a Program for the selected Channel.
DonÕt use the MIX/PROGRAM SELECT [1]Ñ[0] buttons while in any edit mode. If you
do, you will be kicked out of Mix Edit mode and will select another Mix, losing your changes.
Use Quad Knob [4] to enable or disable the Program on the selected Channel.
When enabled, the Channel number will appear in the top left of the display. When
disabled, the Channel number will not appear (unless selected for editing using the MIDI
[¬] and [®] buttons, in which case it is underlined
).
To set the ProgramÕs level, press the FUNCTION [®] button once so that
ÒLEVELÓ is underlined in the display. Use Quad Knob [1] to adjust the level.
Repeat steps Ñ until all desired Programs are assigned to all desired MIDI
channels, and have the appropriate levels.
Changes to Mix parameters are temporary and will be lost if another Mix is selected. To make
changes permanent, you must store the Mix into the User bank. Refer to Chapter 4 for
information about storing changes.
