Editing Mixes: Chapter 5
U
NDERSTANDING THE
In Mix mode, there are 16 edit buffers for the Programs inside the Mix (one for each channel), plus
another buffer for the Mix parameters (Level, Pitch, Range, etc.), and yet another buffer for the
Effects Processor. When you select a Mix from memory, it is copied into the Mix Edit buffer, the 16
Programs of that Mix are copied into the 16 edit buffers, and the Effect from one of the 16 Programs
is copied into the Effects buffer. If you make changes to the Mix, they are only temporarily kept in
the edit buffer until a new Mix is selected from memory. Therefore, you MUST store your edited Mix
if you want to keep it.
In the course of making a Mix, you can enter Program Edit mode (by pressing
second time) and edit one or more Programs in the Mix. The edits you make are entered into a
separate buffer for each Program in the Mix. Note, however, that you DO have to store each
edited Program into the User bank or to a Card bank somewhere before selecting a different Mix, or
your changes will be lost. The same goes for editing the Effects Patch, which will need to be stored
somewhere (along with its associated Program) before you switch Mixes. If you select another Mix
before storing, your changes will be lost.
TIP: Now that weÕre about to cover the various parameters in Mix Edit mode, donÕt forget the ÒDouble-
button pushÓ trick! This is where you push both of the [VALUE] buttons or both of the [PAGE]
buttons at the same time as a shortcut. See Part 4: Basic Operation on page 33.
