You can access the mixer during playback, playback standby, or record standby (C-3 (RECORD) button flashing), or while recording is in progress (C-3 (RECORD) button lit). Press the C-7 (MIXER) button to display the mixer screen. To return to the song sequencer mode screen, press the C-7 (MIXER) button again or press the R-15 (EXIT) button.

Supported Mixer Operations during Playback or Playback Standby

All mixer settings can be configured during playback or playback standby, subject to the following precautions.

•If you want to change mixer settings during playback standby, change them after selecting the song you want to play back. If you change mixer settings and then change the song selection, the header settings of the newly selected song will be recalled and mixer settings will be changed accordingly.

•The only mixer settings you can change during playback standby are those that are included in the song header of the currently selected song. If mixer settings were changed part way through when recording the song, the later recorded mixer settings will supersede any settings you make during playback standby.

Supported Mixer Operations during Record Standby

The mixer settings for the parts shown below (excluding part on/off) are supported, depending on the track being recorded to. Settings are recorded to the header settings (page E-71), the same way settings are stored when recording is started.

Mixer settings cannot be configured during recording to the system track.

Configuration of mixer settings (except for part on/off) is supported for a part (B01 through B16) that corresponds to a track when recording to any track from 01 through 16 shown. Any change in a mixer setting on the mixer screen is recorded as soon as it is made.

For details about mixer functions and operations, see “Using the Mixer” (page E-36).
