In this section, we will choose Programs for the 16 channels in a Mix, for playing
back tracks from a MIDI sequencer. There are many other aspects of a Mix we may
wish to edit, however. Refer to Chapter 5 for more information about Mix editing.
You do not have to access Mix Edit Mode to select Programs for a Mix (i.e. you don’t
have to press the [EDIT SELECT] button). Instead, you simply use a two step process:
A) Use the [
▲
MIDI
▲
] buttons to select one of the 16 channels in the Mix.
B ) Use the [VALUE] knob to choose a Program for the selected channel.
Here’s the process broken down into simpler steps:
➀
Press [MIX] and select Mix 01 from the Preset 1 Bank using the method
described on page 16.
➁
Press [
▲
MIDI
▲
].
The display will look like this:
Play Mode Active MIDI Channels
Mix Number
Program Name and Number
Program Bank Name
Selected MIDI Channel (flashing)
The [
▲
MIDI
▲
] buttons are used to select one of the 16 channels in the Mix.
The actual channel number will be whatever channel was last selected. In the illustration
above, channel 1 is shown flashing. If the channel 1 number in your display is not
flashing, Use the [
▲
MIDI
▲
] buttons to select channel 1.
➂
Use the BANK SELECT [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to select a Program Bank.
➃
Use the [VALUE] knob to select a Program.
➄
Press [MIDI
▲
] to select to the next channel up.
If channel 1 had been selected, pressing [MIDI
▲
] will select channel 2. The channel 2
number will flash in the display.

as needed to select Programs for the remaining channels.
Changes you make to a Mix are temporary and will be lost if another Mix is selected. To make
changes permanent, you must store the Mix into the User bank (see next page).
