automation will be played back. In the absence of a mixer controller, some sequencers
actually have a 'mixer page' for such purposes.
Most good sequencers also allow you to edit mix data such as this so a high degree of
sophistication regarding editing may be possible depending on the sequencer you use
(although please note that if you make extensive edits and changes to the project on the
DD1500 after having recorded mix data into the sequencer, you may have to edit the mix
data separately or re-record it but this no different to many other automated mix
packages).
TIP: If you are not a sequencer user but require a simple form of level/pan automation, a
simple, easy to use hardware sequencer and a MIDI control surface could offer a viable
and inexpensive means to achieve this. If this idea appeals to you but you work in an
industry not used to using such equipment, your Akai distributor will be able to assist as
they will have a lot of experience in this field due to Akai's presence in the professional
music industry.
