Track Status Indicators

Using the Up, Down, Left, and Right cursor buttons to position the cursor onto a Track Status Indicator, you can toggle an empty track (-) into Record (R) with the Alpha Wheel or Plus or Minus buttons.

Once a track contains data, it will have a (P) as a Track Status Indicator, and it will be played during playback. You now will be able to toggle between Play (P), Mute (M), and Record (R).

The track selected as the RecTrk will display an (R), designating it as the record-enabled track. If the RecTrk is set to Mult, then all of the empty tracks will have Record (R) as their Track Status Indicator. If RecMode is not set to Mult and there isn’t a track with an (R), the RecTrk parameter’s value will be None. If you are in Multi record mode, and have turned all record-enabled tracks (R) back to empty (-) so that there isn’t a track with an (R), the RecTrk remains set to Mult.

Quick Mute Track Bank Indicator

This parameter appears as an underscore directly below the graphics for either the bank of Tracks 1–8 or Tracks 9–16. It indicates which bank of eight tracks will respond to the Quick Mute feature, described with the Tr 1-8/Tr9-16soft buttons, below. It also indicates which tracks respond to the keyboard model’s sliders for adjusting track volume.

Soft Buttons on the MIX Page

Record, Play(Pause), and Stop work the same as they do on the MAIN page, described earlier.

Tr 1-8 / (Tr 9-16): The eight mode select buttons to the left of the display are used as Track Mutes when on the MIX page. For example, press the Setup button to mute Track 2; notice that its track status indicator changes to M. Each of these buttons has an LED to indicate that the corresponding track is being muted, but since there are sixteen tracks and only eight buttons, this soft button will select, and display, the bank of eight tracks that can be muted in this fashion.

Press the Tr 1-8soft button to toggle the Quick Mute Track Bank Indicator under tracks 1 -8 or tracks 9 - 16, selecting which bank of eight tracks will respond to the Quick Mute feature.
