To Audition Programs Before Storing

To look for available memory locations to permanently store your Program to, you can move between Program Mode and Mix Mode without losing your changes. This is because Program Mode has a Program edit buffer, and Mix Mode has its own Mix edit buffer along with 16 Program edit buffers. These buffers are retained when moving between Program Mode and Mix Mode, thus making it easy to search for a suitable location to store your newly created Program. Example: While in Program Edit mode, go to Mix Mode and scroll through the Program list on one of the Channels; while editing a Program from Mix Mode, go to Program Mode to scroll through the Program list.

The way to tell the difference between a program edited in Program Mode and one edited from Mix Mode is simple: in Program Mode, the MIX number does not appear in the display.

You will lose your changes if you remain in the same mode and recall a different Mix/Program by pressing the MIX/PROGRAM SELECT [1]—[0]buttons.
