The Mixing mode structure
This section explains in detail about the Mixing mode and what you can do in the Mixing mode.
About Mixing
In the Song/Pattern mode, the internal tone generator block
functions as the multi-timbral tone generator in order to
receive and handle MIDI sequence data consisting of
multiple channels. The settings for the multi-timbral tone
generator are collectively referred to as a “Mixing.” A
Mixing program is provided for each Song or Pattern.
Selecting a different Song/Pattern calls up the different
Mixing program.
Common Edit and Part Edit
The Mixing Edit mode consists of two sub modes: Common
Edit and Part Edit. Common Edit lets you edit the global
settings common to all Parts, such as the Master Effect, the
Master EQ, and the Controller settings. Part Edit lets you
adjust various parameters for each of 16 Parts according
to the corresponding Song/Pattern track.
Effect and EQ structure in the
Mixing mode
In the Mixing mode, two EQ blocks and three Effect blocks
are available.
The two EQ blocks in the Mixing mode are Part EQ and
Master EQ. Part EQ is applied to each of the Mixing Parts
and can be set in the EQ display (page 236) of Part Edit. In
addition, the Part EQ parameters can be adjusted at the
same time for all parts in the Part EQ display (page 233) of
Common Edit. On the other hand, Master EQ is applied to
the overall sound (all the Mixing Parts) and can be set in
the Master EQ display (page 234) of Common Edit.
The Effect blocks in the Mixing mode are Reverb, Chorus,
and Master Effect. Reverb and Chorus are applied to the
overall sound and the related parameters can be set in the
Reverb/Chorus display (page 235) of Common Edit. The
depth (send level) of the Reverb/Chorus can be set for
each Part in the Connect display (page 234) of Part Edit.
On the other hand, Master Effect is applied to the overall
sound (all the Mixing Parts) and can be set in the Master
Effect display (page 234) of Common Edit.
