Reference
Press the [SELECTED PART CONTROL] button to call up
the Control Function window.
Selecting a target Part
The functions assigned to the knobs are applied only to the
currently selected Part. To change the Part, call up the
Control Function window, then press one of the [1] – [16]
buttons.
Knob Functions
As listed below, various functions are assigned to Knobs 1
– 8 depending on which lamp is turned on—the TONE 1,
TONE 2, and ARP FX lamps which can be switched via the
[SELECTED PART CONTROL] button.
n For details about each function, see page 90.
The Sliders lets you adjust the volume for each Part.
Switching the Parts to be edited: 1 – 8 and 9 – 16
When the current part is any of 1 – 8, the eight sliders
adjust the volume for Parts 1 – 8. When the current Part is
any of 9 – 16, the eight sliders adjust the volume for Parts 9
– 16. The Part can be selected by turning the [TRACK] on
and pressing the desired Number button.
Mixing Setup for each track
To edit the Mixing parameters such as Voice, volume and
pan for each track, press the [MIXING] button to enter the
Mixing mode (page 229) then edit them for the Mixing Part
corresponding to the desired track. Note that track 1 does
not always correspond to the Mixing Part 1. As illustrated
below, each track of the Song sequence data and each
Mixing Part of the tone generator block are connected
when the transmit channel (TxCH) equals the receive
channel (RcvCH). In other words, the sequence data of
each track plays the corresponding Parts (those having the
same MIDI channel assignment) in the tone generator
block. The Transmit Channels of each track can be set in
the Song Track display (page 184) of the Song Play mode
while the Receive Channels of each Part can be set in the
Voice display (page 235) of the Mixing mode.
