Part 4: Basic Operation
CHANGING THE PROGRAMS IN A MIX
This is actually the first level of editing for Mixes, but that’s okay — it’s an easy and useful thing that you can do whenever you are in Mix Mode…and best of all you don’t need to know anything special to do it!
1)Get into Mix Mode by pressing the [MIX] button.
2)Press either of the [PAGE] buttons and look at the display. One of the MIDI channel indicators on the bottom line should be flashing, and the upper line should now show a Program Name and Number. This Program is the one currently associated with the flashing MIDI channel.
3)Use either the [VALUE] buttons or any of the 23 [SELECTION] buttons to call up a different Program. You can also call up Programs from other Banks by using the [BANK] buttons. The upper line of the display will change to show you which Program you’ve selected for that MIDI channel.
4)Do this until you like what you’ve got.
5)If you want to change Program assignments for another MIDI channel, use the two [PAGE] buttons to move around among the 16 channels that are available.
To stop editing and return to normal operation, press either [MIX] to go to Mix Mode, or [PROGRAM] to return to Program Mode.
Note: Your QS will let you change Program assignments on all 16 MIDI channels, even ones that aren’t yet enabled in this Mix. You won’t hear the changes you make to a channel that isn’t yet enabled. That’s all right. If you want you can always go ahead and make the assignments you want now, and enable their MIDI channels later.
STORING ALTERED MIXES TO THE USER BANK (OR TO A CARD)
This works just like copying, which was described a little earlier. A recap: Once you’ve come up with a new combination of Programs that you like, press [STORE] while still in Mix Edit Mode. Select your target bank and any number between 00 and 99 (using the usual methods), then press [STORE] again and you’re done.
