Mix Mode

use. Each channel may be enabled or disabled, without changing any of its parameter
settings. When a channel is disabled, its number will not appear in the upper left
display, except when it is selected for editing. You can set levels, effect levels and bus
assignments, pitch transposition, keyboard ranges (if making a split or layer), and
MIDI parameters for each individual channel. Each function is selected using the
FUNCTION [¬] and [®] buttons and (if necessary) the PAGE [¬] and [®] buttons.
A Mix also includes an Effects Patch, which can be any of the 256 Effects Patches, or
you can link the Mix to use an Effect associated with one of its 16 Programs.
Here is a simplified diagram of the signal path in Mix mode.

Understanding the Edit Buffers
In Mix mode, there are 16 edit buffers (one for each channel), plus another buffer for
the Mix parameters (Level, Pitch, Range, etc.), and yet another buffer for the Effects
Processor. When you select a Mix from memory, it is copied into the Mix Edit buffer,
the 16 Programs of that Mix are copied into the 16 edit buffers, and the MixÕs Effect
Patch is copied into the Effects buffer. If you make changes to the Mix, they are only
temporarily kept in the edit buffer until a new Mix is selected from memory.
Therefore, you MUST store your edited Mix if you want to keep it.
If in the course of making a Mix, you enter Program Edit mode (by pressing
[SELECT]) and edit one or more Programs in the Mix, the edits you make are entered
into a separate buffer. Note, however, that you DO have to STORE each edited
Program in the User bank (in the same or different Program number location) before
selecting a different Mix, or your changes will be lost. The same goes for editing the
Effects patch. If you select another Mix before storing, your changes will be lost.
