PLAYING MIXES
First Session: Part 3
In Program Mode you play Programs, so to play Mixes you can probably guess that
youÕd have to be in Mix Mode. To enter this mode at any time, just press the [MIX]
button on the front panel.
The display should look something like this:
As you can see, there are only two visible differences between this and the Program
Mode display:
· The mode indicator in the lower left of the display reads MIX.
· More than one MIDI channel is indicated. The numbers you see here tell you
what MIDI channels are being used to send and/or receive in this Mix. (This
also gives you a quick way of seeing how many Programs are in a particular
Mix, since the nature of Mixes is to have one Program per enabled MIDI
channel.)
PICKING A MIX BANK
Mixes come in Banks, just like Programs. In fact, they come in exactly the same
Banks Ñ the only difference is that there are 100 Mixes in each Bank, as opposed to
128 Programs.
To cycle through the available Banks, get into Mix Mode and press the [BANK]
buttons as described earlier.
SELECTING MIXES
This works as described earlier for Programs; youÕre just in a different Mode when
you do it. Start by making sure you are in Mix Mode, then use the [VALUE] keys and
[SELECTION] buttons to call up the Mix of your choice.
Please note that there are only 100 Mixes (numbered 00 through 99) in each Bank.
This is why pressing the [100], [110], and [120] selection buttons while you are in
Mix Mode wonÕt have any effect.
