Chapter 5:Editing Mixes

LEVEL SETTING FOR EACH PROGRAM

The Level function (press [60]) of Mix Edit is used to control several parameters that deal with the audio output of the selected channel. Parameters in the Level Function’s group include: Volume, Pan, Output, Effects Send Level, Effects Bus and Program Enable.

Enable (On or Off)

Page 1

This determines whether the selected channel is enabled or disabled. When disabled, no sound will be heard. The Channel indicator in the display for a disabled channel will not appear.

When you start to setup a MIX, it may be confusing if many of the channels have their Keyboard parameter turned off. In order to hear anything on a particular channel, enable Keyboard control and set the Range so that the low note and high note values are set beyond where you want to play (see pages 38 & 40).

Volume (00 to 99)

Page 2

This sets the overall volume for a channel. Higher numbers give higher levels.

Pan (<3 to 3>, or PROG )

Page 3

This determines the pan position of the selected channel. When set to PROG, the Pan setting will be that stored with the Program assigned to the selected channel (which can be different for each Sound within the Program). However, you can override this setting by selecting a different value, which forces all four Sounds within the Program to be in the same position in the stereo field.

Output (Main, Aux, Off, or PROG)

Page 4

This determines the audio output assignment for the selected channel. When set to PROG, the channel will use the Output assignments of each Sound within the Program. However, you can override these assignments by setting this parameter to something different. To send the output of all four Sounds to the Main outputs, select MAIN. To send the Program’s dry signal to the Aux Outputs, select AUX. When set to OFF, the channel will not be sent to any of the outputs (but can still feed an effect bus).

For information on setting up four discreet Outputs, see the Tip on page 119.

Effect Level (00 to 99, or PROG)

Page 5

This determines the amount of signal from the selected channel that will be sent to the effects, using one of the four effects buses as determined by the Effect Bus parameter (see below). When set to PROG, the effect level will be that stored by the channel’s Program as it was set for each Sound. Any other setting will send each Sound in the Program to its bus at that level.

Effect Bus (1, 2, 3, 4, or PROG)

Page 6

This determines which effect bus the selected channel will be routed to. When set to PROG, the effect bus assignment will be that stored by the channel’s Program. 1, 2, 3 or 4 overrides the Program’s bus assignment, sending all sound layers of the Program to the chosen bus.
