To look for available memory locations to permanently store your Program into, you
can move between Program Mode and Mix Mode without losing your changes. This
is because Program Mode uses a Program edit buffer, and Mix Mode uses its own
Mix edit buffer along with 16 additional Program edit buffers. These buffers are
retained when moving between Program Mode and Mix Mode, making it easy to
search for a suitable location to store your newly created Program. Example: While in
Program Edit mode, go to Mix Mode and scroll through the Program list on one of
the Channels; while editing a Program from Mix Mode, go to Program Mode to scroll
through the Program list.
The way to tell the difference between a program edited in Program Mode and one
edited from Mix Mode is by looking at the lower-left corner of the display: in
Program Edit Mode, the words “
PROG EDITED ” appear, while in Mix Edit Mode,
the words “ MIX PROG EDITED ” appear.
You will lose your changes if you remain in the same mode and recall a different
Mix/Program by turning the [VALUE] knob.
