Mixer-related
Using auto mix
Time based movements such as channel faders and pan can
now be recorded to mark points (auto mix). When you
move to a mark point, the recorded mixer settings will be
reproduced.
Auto mix can be recorded separately in each mixer mode.
The mixer settings which can be recorded are as follows.
* The items printed in bold type can be adjusted directly
from the faders or pan knobs on the top panel. By operat-
ing these while a song is playing back, you can record
time-based mixer movements such as fade-in or panning.
When Channel Link is on, the channel faders and pan
knobs of even-numbered channels will respectively adjust
AUX level and AUX balance.
