SCENE/MUTE Buttons
Up to 5 complete scene and mute setups can be stored in
memory and recalled at the touch of a button.
A “scene” includes all parameter settings for all tracks (all
knob settings and mute on/off settings). A mute setup
includes the mute on/off status for all tracks.
The ability to store and instantly recall complete scene and
mute setups means that even complex setups that would
take a considerable amount of time to program in real time
can be called up at the touch of a button. Recall operations
can be recorded to pattern chains and songs as well.
[STORE] Button
Store the current scene or mute settings to one of the 5
available memory locations: [MEMORY 1] ~ [MEMORY
5]. The selected type of data is stored when a scene/mute
memory button — [MEMORY 1] ~ [MEMORY 5] — is
pressed while the [STORE] button is held.
[SCENE/MUTE] Button
Switches between the scene and mute memory functions.
The SCENE and MUTE indicators light alternately each
time the button is pressed.
