Mixer Function

What you can do with the Mixer

This keyboard lets you play multiple different musical instrument parts at the same time during auto- accompaniment play, song memory playback, receipt of data through the MIDI terminal, etc. The Mixer assigns each part to a separate channel (1 through 16) and lets you control the channel on/off, volume, and pan pot parameters of each channel.

In addition to channels 1 through 16, the Mixer also has a DSP channel that you can use to adjust the DSP level, DSP pan, and other DSP parameters.

NOTE

In this manual, “Channel Number” matches the channel numbers marked on the keyboard above the CHANNEL buttons.

The CHANNEL button name in the above table corresponds to the next marked on the keyboard below the CHANNEL buttons.

See page E-74 and E-75 for information on layered, split, and layered/split tones.

See page E-61 for information on the song memory.

NOTE

Normally, keyboard play is assigned to Channel 1. When Auto Accompaniment is being used, each part of the accompaniment is assigned to Channels 6 through 10.

When this keyboard is being used as the sound source for an externally connected computer or other MIDI device, all 16 channels are assigned musical instrument parts. The notes played over the channel selected by steps 1 and 2 under “Turning Channels On and Off” in the right column of this page are shown on the displayed keyboard and staff.

Turning Channels On and Off

Press the CHANNEL buttons to toggle individual channels on and off. Indicators on the display show the current on/off status of each channel.

Channel on

Channel off

Each press of a CHANNEL button toggles the applicable channel on and off.

The on/off status of each channel determines the on/off status of the corresponding part for keyboard play, Auto Accompaniment, and Song Memory playback.

Changing to a different rhythm causes Mixer Settings for channel 6 through channel 10 to change to the default settings assigned to the new rhythm. These settings also change to the defaults for the currently selected rhythm pattern whenever you switch between the Intro, Normal, Variation, Fill-in, and Ending patterns.
