Switching Scenes

You can switch mixer Scenes with MIDI Program Change
messages sent by an external MIDI controller.
During Playback of a Song
Scenes cannot be switched during song playback
without pausing playback as the settings are changed.
The VS-1680 will stop momentarily if it receives a
Program Change message during playback instructing it
to change Scenes. While it is stopped, the Scene is
switched, and then playback resumes. During recording,
only effect Program Change messages can be responded
to. Scenes cannot be switched during recording.
