The MIXER environment does what its name suggests: it allows you to balance the various Keyboard parts of your
DisCover 5. See page 87 and following for how to “mix” the song parts.
Your singing and the generated Vocal Harmonizer parts can be “mixed” using the [VOICE] and [HARMONY] knobs.

About the DisCover 5’s effects

The DisCover 5 contains the following effects pro-
cessors, not all of which are available for all sec-
tions. So please carefully study the following table:
The reason why we are talking about “processors” is
that most of them can be used in various ways (by
selecting a “Type”). The Multi-FX is, of course the
most versatile processor, because it can use one of
47 types, while other processors provide 8 or 9 pos-
sibilities. Only the Compressor and Gate processors
are “dedicated” effects: they can “only” function as
Compressor or Gate.
Note: See page 62 for how to set the VOCAL HARMONIZER
equalizers.

Mixing Keyboard parts

Here’s how to set the balance and other “mix-related” parameters of the Keyboard parts.
(1) Press the [MIXER/EFFECT] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Move the on-screen sliders to set the desired
volume for the various Keyboard parts.
The D BEAM part refers to the sounds that are
generated when you use the D Beam controller
after selecting the DJ GEAR, SOUND EFX or
INSTRUMENT mode (scratches, sound effects,
other “noises”). See page 41 for details.
Use these sliders as “sub mixer”, to establish the
correct balance between the Keyboard parts.
(3) After setting these levels, you can use the
[BALANCE] knob to establish the correct bal-
ance between the Keyboard parts and the
song.
