Chapter 5. Replacing phrases to create a
different pattern (MEGAMIX)
MEGAMIX is a function which lets you play back a pattern
while you exchange the musical data of one part with the
data from a different pattern. You can combine phrases for
each instrument to create a completely different pattern, just
as if you were creating a remix.

* This diagram is intended to explain the concept of
MEGAMIX. It does not imply that phrases of actual patterns
are as shown in the diagram.
Replacing phrases
* MEGAMIX can be used both when a pattern is playing or
stopped.
1.
Press [PATTERN] to select Pattern mode.
2.
Use [VALUE] to select a pattern.
3.
Press [MEGAMIX] to select MEGAMIX mode.
4.
Press [PART SELECT].
The part button of the currently selected part (current
part) will light.
5.
Press the part button ([R] or [1]–[7]) of the part that
you wish to replace, making it the current part.
6.
Turn [VALUE] to select the pattern containing the
performance data that you wish to use.
7.
Press a part button [R] or [1]–[7] to select the part
containing the performance data.
The part button of the current part will change from
blinking to lit, and the part button of the selected part
will blink.
* If you select the same part as the current part, the part button
of the current part will blink.
8.
Press [ENTER].
* To cancel, press [ENTER].
The part button of the current part will remain lit, and
the part button of the selected part will go dark.
* If you selected the same part as the current part in step 7, the
part button of the current part will change from blinking to lit.
The performance data of the selected part will be placed in
the current part, and the performance will change when the
currently-sounding pattern makes a complete cycle.
It is not possible to perform MEGAMIX between part R and
parts 1–7.
Using D-FIELD for MEGAMIX
If D-FIELD function ASSIGN 1 is set to “PCL (Pattern Call),”
entering MEGAMIX mode will let you use the eight areas of
the D-FIELD to access the performance data assigned to each
part.

PATTERN
MEGAMIX
* Even after you exit MEGAMIX mode, the state you
created using MEGAMIX will be maintained until you
select a different pattern. [MEGAMIX] will blink during
this time.
* It is not possible to record a pattern in the state you
created using MEGAMIX. If you wish to record, you
must first save the pattern (see next page).
* The time signature and number of measures of the pattern
that is played by MEGAMIX will depend on the time
signature and number of measures of the Rhythm part.
Also, the mute status of each part will be maintained
during MEGAMIX.
* If you switch to a part that contains no performance data,
that part will not play anything. In each of the preset
patterns, part 1 contains no performance data (regardless
of the pattern you select). For other parts as well, please be
aware that the part you select may not necessarily contain
performance data.
