Song Mixing mode

In this mode, you can set up 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.
Pressing the [F6] button can switch between the display for the Parts 1 - 16 to which the internal Voices are assigned, the display for Multi Plug-
in Parts (17 - 32) to which the PLG100-XG voices are assigned and the display for Plug-in Parts (PLG1 - 3) to which the Plug-in Voices of the
single part Plug-in board are assigned.
Song Mixing parameters are not actually part of the Song sequence data in each track, 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.
CAUTION
Parameter settings made in the Song Mixing mode and Song Mixing Edit mode should be stored to internal memory (DRAM) as part of the Song data. In
addition, make sure to save the entire Song data (including the Mixing settings) to the SmartMedia/USB storage device, since the data in DRAM is stored
only temporarily (page 187).

Parameter settings in the Song Mixing mode and Song Mixing Edit mode can be stored as a template to internal Flash ROM, as well as being stored as part
of a Song. See page 104 for details.
