Song Mixing Mode - Yamaha MOTIF6 Owner's Manual

Song Mixing mode

In this mode, you can set up and save mixing data for
your songs, and set various parameters for the tone
generator parts — including the desired voice, as well
as its level, pan, EQ, effect and other settings.
How the Song Mixing mode affects the tone generator
parts, and how it is affected by other elements is made
clear by the following diagram.

Tone Generator
Song Mixing parameters are not actually part of the song
data, but rather are settings for the tone generator, as it is
played back by the song data. As such, the Song Mixing
parameter settings are not recorded to the song tracks.
n Even if the selected song has no sequence data, this
Mixing data can be stored to User memory as song data.
Playing back such song data transmits the mixing setup
to the external MIDI instrument.
◆ The [ ] Indicator
If you alter any parameters in the Song Mixing mode,
the [ ] indicator will appear in the top left of the
display. This indicates that the current Song Mixing
settings have has been modified but not yet stored.
Edit indicator
The [ ] indicator will disappear when you select another
song and all edited data will be lost. It is a good idea to
store the edited song data in the Song Mixing Store mode
(page 214). Even if you lose the Song Mixing edited data, you
can restore it by using the Edit Recall function (page 158).
n As shown above, the Song Mixing settings can be
affected or overridden by song playback and
external MIDI data. Keep in mind that because of
this, the [ ] indicator may appear in the display
— even though you've made no changes or edits to
the Song Mixing settings yourself.
MIDI data from external
devices affects the Song
Mixing settings.
