Chapter 4. Mixer Mode O - Roland G-800 Reference Manual

G-800 Reference Manual
4 Mixer mode
While on the Master page, you can access to the Mixer mode by pressing [F1]. Doing so will
call up a page similar to the following:
z volume Panpot Fi e z
y «ner "es
olume Panpot Riewerk
A Time lji tf you press [F2]

(Seeing that the G-800 is equipped with a page memory function, it may jump to another page
when you select the Mixer mode.) The function keys [F1], [F2], and [F3] allow you to select
the section of parts to be edited. After selecting the section (RTime, Arrng, or Song), choose
the part you want to edit using the [PAGE] A/W buttons.
Using the knobs below the desired parameter you can easily change the values of the selected
part.
Selectable parts: (Realtime parts) Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower, M. Bass, M. Drum,
(Arranger parts) A.Drum, A.Bass, Acc1-Acc6, (Song parts) Sng1~Sng16.

Volume (0-127)
Use the [DRUMS/PART] knob to set the volume of the selected part. The value "0" means
that the part in question will not be audible, while "127" is the maximum volume.
Note: Though polyphony is no problem on the G-800, bear in mind that the value "0" does not
mean that the part does not use the required number of voices. If you do not need a part in a given
situation, mute it using the ON/OFF switch.
On/Off (part mute)
Use the Part Select [M.DRUMS] button to activate (On), or mute (Off) the selected part. This
mute switch works similar to the Local switch (see page 86) in the MIDI mode because the
On setting means that the part in question does not sound but still sends MIDI messages to
the selected MIDI OUT put if the Part Switch parameter (see page 90) is set to Int. The Mute
setting of a part can be saved to a Performance Memory.
When a part is on, its name, shown in the scroll bar, appears in uppercase letters (e.g. UP1).
If the part is Off, its name is displayed in lowercase letters (e.g. up1).
Note: The MIDI\Param Part Switch parameter (see page 90) allows you to specify whether mut-
ing a part also means that it no longer sends MIDI data.
