indicates that, although the Effects Patch number coincides with the Program number
on the Effects Channel, the Mix is still using the Effects Program connected to the
original Program on the Effects Channel that is stored in the Mix. If you store the Mix,
the newly selected Program on the Effects Channel will be stored with it. The next
time this Mix is recalled the new Program on the Effects Channel will be recalled
along with its Effects (which will be different, in most cases, from the Effects originally
used with this Mix). If this occurs, and you wish to keep the new Program in the Mix,
you could copy the Effects from the old Program into the new Program (see the Store
Mode section, later in this chapter). Or, you could adjust the Effects Send level and
Effects Bus parameter for the remaining Channels so that their associated Programs
sound good with the new Effects. Or, you could modify the new Program's Effects.

up to 10 characters long. Use the PAGE [¨] and [Æ] buttons to position the cursor.

Polyphony in Mix Play Mode

The S4 Plus has 64-note polyphony. In Mix Play Mode, if you have all 16 MIDI
channels assigned to the same keyboard range, and each channel's Program has
only one active Program Sound, you'll have 4-note polyphony as you play the
keyboard (but a really thick layer...). This is extreme, of course, but should tell you
what you can expect when you really pile on the layers from the keyboard.
