Your First Session: Chapter 2

CHOOSING PROGRAMS IN A MIX

In this section, we will choose Programs for the 16 channels in a Mix, for playing back tracks from a MIDI sequencer. There are many other aspects of a Mix we may wish to edit, however. Refer to Chapter 5 for more information about Mix editing.

You do not have to access Mix Edit Mode to select Programs for a Mix (i.e. you don’t have to press the [EDIT SELECT] button). Instead, you simply use a two step process:

A)	Use the [ ▲ MIDI ▲] buttons to select one of the 16 channels in the Mix.
B )	Use the [VALUE] knob to choose a Program for the selected channel.

Here’s the process broken down into simpler steps:

➀Press [MIX] and select Mix 01 from the Preset 1 Bank using the method

described on page 16.

➁

Press [ ▲ MIDI ▲].

The display will look like this:

Mix Number	Program Bank Name
	Program Name and Number

Play Mode	Active MIDI Channels
	Selected MIDI Channel (flashing)

The [ ▲ MIDI ▲] buttons are used to select one of the 16 channels in the Mix.

The actual channel number will be whatever channel was last selected. In the illustration above, channel 1 is shown flashing. If the channel 1 number in your display is not flashing, Use the [ ▲ MIDI ▲] buttons to select channel 1.

➂Use the BANK SELECT [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to select a Program Bank.

➃Use the [VALUE] knob to select a Program.

➄Press [MIDI ▲] to select to the next channel up.

If channel 1 had been selected, pressing [MIDI	▲] will select channel 2. The channel 2
number will flash in the display.

➅ Repeat steps ➂ – ➄ as needed to select Programs for the remaining channels.

✪Changes you make to a Mix are temporary and will be lost if another Mix is selected. To make changes permanent, you must store the Mix into the User bank (see next page).
