MIDI Mixer: Quick Launch [SHIFT] + [6]
The
MIDI
MIXER
is
automated MIDI mixes within the sequencer. You
can use it to write data into SQ01 tracks. You can
"READ AUTOMATION" and "WRITE AUTOMATION":
READ from/ WRITE to a sequencer track to control
the channel levels, control effect Send levels, of
your MIDI tracks. Snapshots of settings can be
inserted into the track data. When recording MIDI
track AUTOMATION you will be addressing the
S90 internal PARTS so you will want to use USB
OUT 0-1. The MIDI control data must, like all MIDI
data be recorded to a track of the sequencer.
Select a track that is set to OUT 0-1 but set the
MIDI channel for this (automation) track to ALL.
This will allow data from any fader icon or Effect
knob icon to be recorded to this track.
Here is a step-by-step:
available
for
creating
Set the MIDI OUT on the toolbar of the MIDI
Mixer to YAMAHA USB OUT 0-1
Make sure both of the AUTO icons are selected
READ and WRITE (you can view the selection
under the SETUP menu – a check appears
next to READ and WRITE AUTOMATION
Set the MIDI track to USB OUT 0-1 and the
MIDI channel to ALL (see diagram below)
Set the TRACK to RECORD READY "R"
Click the RED Record dot on the main
transport and press START.
The MIDI MIXER is addressing the internal Parts of
the S90 and thus is communicated with via OUT
1
0-1, only.
This means it is possible to control
what happens on the S90 and to the track
automation of the SQ01 from this MIDI Mixer.
For example, another good use for the MIDI Mixer
is selection of Voices. Click on the three-digit
number above the Track number at the bottom of
the channel fader. This will open a dialog box that
will allow you to search for S90 Voices and send
out an audition note.
In the dialog box shown below, you see that
you can select a Voice via the "LIST" and it
will show you the MSB/LSB Bank Select and
Program Change Number.
If you are using another SQ01 supported
instrument you can select it by selecting
"DEVICE" from the DATABASE.

There is no USB IN for MIDI MIXER therefore the
direction of information is from the software to the
synth or to a track, only.
