V15 (or V16) button off then on, thereby re-executing the V15 (or V16) macro for that mix
channel.

8.5 using a6 as master keyboard warning:

From Colin:
I tried again last night, and found that if you turn all the keyboard on/off option for all parts to off,
then the A6 will not transmit any notes, ie it ceases to function as a master keyboard :(
So one mix channel must have the keyboard turned on with the whole range of the keyboard
assigned, if you wish to use the A6 as a master keyboard.
Mix mode preset 127 - shows this

8.6 f1 mix parameter (and other post / pre filter mixes):

Mike Peake wrote:
What's up with the F1 MIX parameter in the post filter mix? Just can't figure it out...but then I'm
tired again.
It simultaneously alters all of the F1 Levels at once.

8.7 copying an fx:

To Copy the FX of a Program into a Mix, press Store once, press soft button three "COPY",
use soft pot one to select what you want to Copy, use soft pot two and three to select the
Bank and Program you want to Copy from, press Copy and then press Store to finish the
procedure.

8.8 hard allocating mix mode voices:

Mike Peake wrote about the only workaround at this time:
I remeber something was said about this a while back. I did a search but nothing came up. The
manual is no help. Can someone help me out?
We were seriously discussing being able to lock down a particular number of voices per Mix channel
ala' the Yamaha TX802, but didn't do it. Only selecting Mono will lock a voice down.

8.9 copying mix programs to the user program bank:

Doug Pearson wrote:
Is it possible to copy a program from a mix channel to the user program bank?
Yes, just hit "store" and select the appropriate bank/program #, then hit "store" again. The manual
states "hit store twice to store to the original bank/program #" (which, of course, was impossible in
the context of my original question since I was referring to a program in one of the preset banks that
can't have individual programs written to it), but it makes sense that it's implied that one can select
the bank/program# BETWEEN the two pressings of "store" (even though the manual doesn't say so
explicitly).

8.10 affecting all parameters in mix mode at once:

Mike Peake wrote:
In mix mode, do you think it would be at all possible to have a situation where when I grab the filter
cutoff, it affects ALL programs in the mix, as opposed to just the selected one? In the heat of a
performance it's very difficult to figure out which sound belongs to which mix channel. Or at least
some lights, or meters or something to help identify sounds and mix channels.
