Adjust Alternate Mixer Volume Levels 

Tsunami2 includes an alternate volume mixer that can be selected in place of the primary 
volume mixer. This allows you two volume levels for each sound effect, which can be useful if 
you need quieter or louder volume settings for different operating situations, such as one group 
of settings for your home layout and another for your club layout. CVs 2.289-2.320 are used to 
set the alternate volume levels of each sound effect. Turning on the alternate mixer function will 
set sound effect volume to alternate mixer channel volume levels in place of the primary mixer 
channel volume levels in CVs 129-160. The default values for alternate mixer sound effects are 
set to half of the primary mixer default values. Follow the steps below to enable the alternate 
mixer in place of the primary mixer: 

1.  Ensure CV 31 (CV Index 1) is set to a value of 16. 

2.  Enter a value of 1 into CV 32 (CV Index 2) to select Indexed CV Page 1 as the active 

indexed CV page. 

3.  Enter a value of 28 into CV 284 to map the alternate mixer function to function key F28. 

4.  Turn on the alternate mixer function with F28 to enable the alternate mixer volume levels 

in CVs 2.289-2.320 in place of the primary mixer volume levels in CVs 129-160. 

5.  To adjust the alternate volume level of each sound effect, enter a value of 2 into CV 32 

to select Indexed CV Page 2 as the active indexed CV page. 

6.  Adjust CVs 289-320 to set each sound effect to your preferred volume level. 

7.  Turn off the alternate mixer function with F28 to re-enable the primary mixer volume 

levels in CVs 129-160. 

 

Note:

 

To access Indexed CV Page 1 and Indexed CV Page 2 with CVs 257-512, CV 31 (CV 

Index 1) must be set to a value of 16 (default) and CV 32 (CV Index 2) must be set to a value of 
1 or 2. 

 

Refer to Table J on the next page to view default values for CVs 2.289-320.
