In this section, we will choose Programs for the 16 channels in a Mix, for playing back
tracks from a MIDI sequencer. There are many other aspects of a Mix we may wish
to edit, however. Refer to Chapter 5 for more information about Mix editing.
You do not have to access Mix Edit Mode to select Programs for a Mix (i.e. you don’t
have to press the [EDIT SELECT] button). Instead, you simply use a two step
process:
A) Use the [
PAGE] and [PAGE
] buttons to select one of the 16 channels in the
Mix.
B) Use a combination of the [
BANK] and [BANK
] buttons, the [00] – [120]
buttons and the [0] – [9] buttons to choose a Program for the selected channel.
Here’s the process broken down into simpler steps:
¿
Press [MIX] and select Mix 00 from the GenMIDI Bank using one of the methods
described on page 16.

The [
PAGE] and [PAGE
] buttons are used to select one of the 16 channels
in the Mix.
The actual channel number (shown in the display at half-size) will be whatever
channel was last selected. In the illustration above, channel 1 is shown. If the
channel number in your display is not “å” (1), press both [
PAGE] and
[PAGE
] buttons simultaneously to select channel 1.
¬
Use the [
BANK] and [BANK
] buttons to select a Program Bank.
√
Use the [00] – [120] buttons to select a Program Group.
