< About the display >
The SCENE field in the display indicates the currently selected scene number. If an asterisk Ò✱Ó appears at the beginning of the scene number, this indicates that the current mixer settings differ from the scene settings. I.e., after recalling the scene, the faders or PAN knobs etc. have been moved to change the mixer settings.
Recalling a scene
*Before selecting a scene, you must stop song recording/playback. It is not possible to select a scene during recording/playback.

When you press the button, the current settings of the faders and pan will appear in the bar display.
2.Press a LOC button to specify the scene that you wish to recall.
3.When the scene has been recalled, press [SCENE] to turn off the button indicator.
Recalling a scene without affecting the current fader values
When a scene is recalled, the fader values will change to the recalled settings, but the locations of the faders will not change. This means that the locations of the faders will not match their actual values. When the locations do not match the values, the bar display will blink to indicate the actual fader values.
If you want just the fader values to remain unchanged when you recall a scene, make the following settings.
1.Press [SYSTEM].
If a message with a question mark such as ÒSYS System PRM?Ó does not appear, press [SYS- TEM] once again.
2.Use PARAMETER [ 
][ 
] to get the “SYS Scene/Auto Mix?” display, and press [YES].
3.In the “SYS Scene Mode=” display, use the TIME/VALUE dial to select “KeepF.”
SYS Scene Mode
This setting determines the fader settings when a Scene is recalled.
All: Fader settings will change to the settings of the scene that was recalled. In this case, when a scene is recalled, the location of the faders on the front panel will no longer match the actual fader settings.
KeepF: The mixer settings of the scene that was recalled will be applied with the exception of the fader settings. This means that even when a scene is recalled, fader settings will still match the location of the faders on the front panel.
4.After making the setting, press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to Play condition.
