Your First Session: Chapter 2
CHOOSING PROGRAMS IN A MIX
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.
MIX GenMIDI ºº
GM Multi ´´´´
¡ Press [PAGE ].
The display will look like this:
Channel Bank Program Number
Ø Ø Ø
CHå: GenMIDI ºº
GrandPiano ´´´´

Program Name
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.
Example: Press [00] for pianos, [20] for organs, etc.
ƒ Use the [0] – [9] buttons to select a Program.
≈ Press [PAGE ] to select to the next channel up.
If channel 1 had been selected, pressing [PAGE ] will select channel 2.
∆ Repeat steps ¬ – ≈ as needed to select Programs for the remaining channels.

Changes you make to a Mix are temporary and will be lost if another Mix is selected.
To make changes permanent, you must store the Mix into the User bank (see next
page).
