Editing a Mix begins with using the [ PAGE] and [PAGE ] buttons to select the MIDI channel
you want, and selecting a Program number for each of the channels you want to use (as described
above). Beyond Program selection, you may control many other aspects of a Mix by accessing Mix
Edit Mode. This is done by pressing the [EDIT SELECT] button while Mix Play Mode; the word
“EDITED” should appear in the lower left section of the display, across from the word "MIX":
Once in Mix Edit Mode, use the [0] - [9] and [00] - [50] buttons to select a MIDI channel to edit (1 –
16). Use the [60] – [120] buttons to select a Function Group (Level, Pitch, Effect, etc.) If a Function
Group has more than one parameter, use the [
PAGE] and [PAGE ] buttons to locate a specific
parameter. The Mix Edit functions and Channels are written in blue above or below each numbered
button, on the line labeled MIX.
Each channel of a Mix may be enabled or disabled, without changing any of its parameter settings.
When a channel is disabled, its channel number will not appear in the lowest line of the display
(unless you have selected it for editing, in which event it will be flashing). You can set levels,
panning, effect levels and bus assignments, pitch transposition, keyboard ranges (if making a split
or layer), and MIDI parameters for each individual channel. Mix Edit Mode is also where you
select which Program's effects will be used for the entire Mix (more on that later).
Here is a simplified diagram of the signal path in Mix mode.
