Chapter 4: Overview

To Audition Programs Before Storing

To look for available memory locations to permanently store your Program to, you
can move between Program Mode and Mix Mode without losing your changes. This
is because Program Mode has a Program edit buffer, and Mix Mode has its own Mix
edit buffer along with 16 Program edit buffers. These buffers are retained when
moving between Program Mode and Mix Mode, thus 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 simple: in Program Mode, the MIX number does not appear
in the display.
You will lose your changes if you remain in the same mode and recall a different
J
Mix/Program by pressing the MIX/PROGRAM SELECT [1]—[0] buttons.
