6 Mixer mode operations

This chapter explains how to use Mixer mode to adjust the mix parameters of the parts.

About Mixer mode

In Mixer mode you can use the part mixer to adjust the mix parameters of each part.
The Part Mixer lets you adjust the volume, pan, and effect bus send level for each part within the currently
selected multi. These parameters are in common with the parameters of the multi, and adjusting either will
also affect the other one.
The settings of the part mixer are held within the multi. If you want to keep the changes you make, you must
save the multi ( p.54).

Using the Part Mixer

The part mixer lets you control mix parameters such as volume, pan, and effect bus send level for each part.
1. In the main page, select the multi that you want to control. Also make sure that the program you
want to use is selected for each part of the multi.
2. Press the [MIXER] key.
The Part page of Mixer mode will appear. In this page you can use the part mixer that adjusts the volume,
pan, and send level of each part.
