Recording the mixer settings, method 1
(Snapshot)
Mixer settings can be recorded in a Mark point. When you
move to that Mark point, the mixer settings that were
recorded will be reproduced.
For example, this is convenient when you want the intro
and ending to have different volume levels for the guitar
part or different effect send levels etc.
1. Make sure that Auto Mix is on, press holding down
[SCENE] and pressing [TAP].
A mark point will be added at the current time location.
At the same time, the settings of the mixer will be
recorded at the mark point. A mark point in which
mixer settings are recorded will be indicated by an Ò
✱Ó
following it.
* If a mark point already exists within 0.1 seconds before
the time location at which you are attempting to place a
new mark point (i.e., the current time), the auto mix data
will be recorded at the earlier mark point. A mark point
will not be newly assigned.
Recording the mixer settings, method 2
(Gradation)
This method creates an auto mix that smoothly connects the
mixer settings recorded in two adjacent mark points.
For example, this is convenient when you wish to fade-in or
fade-out at a specified time.
1. Move to the time location at which you wish to begin the
auto mix.
2. Perform the procedure for “Recording the mixer set-
tings, method 1”.
3. Move to the time location at which you wish to end the
auto mix.
4. Perform the procedure for “Recording the mixer set-
tings, method 1” once again.
Two mark points have now been assigned.
5. Make sure that auto mix is on, holding down [SCENE]
and pressing [PREV].
A mark point will be automatically added between the
two mark points, and the mixer settings will be interpo-
lated.
* If you wish to interpolate with the previous mark point,
press [SCENE]+[PREV]. If you wish to interpolate with
the next mark point, holding down [SCENE] and pressing
[NEXT].
Recording the mixer settings, method 3
(Realtime)
With this method, only those the mixer settings which can
be adjusted from the top panel will be recorded to mark
points in realtime. For example, this is convenient when
you wish to fade-in or fade-out individual tracks.
1. Move to the time location at which you wish to record
the auto mix.
2. Make sure that auto mix is on, holding down [SCENE]
and pressing [REC].
The CONDITION column display will alternate
between the current condition name and Òmix,Ó indicat-
ing that preparations have been made for realtime
recording of the auto mix.
3. Specify the channels for with auto mix will be recorded.
Move the faders and pan knobs of the top panel to the
desired locations.
4. Press [PLAY].
Playback will begin.
5. Operate the channel faders, pan knobs, and master
fader of the top panel.
Auto mix data will be recorded only for those channels
which were modified.
6. When the mix is finished, press [STOP].
Mark points will be automatically created in the area
