Mixing Edit
The Mixing Edit mode lets you control typical mixer settings such as volume balance, pan position and effects, allowing you
to fine tune the Song/Pattern data. Mixing Edit consists of Part Edit and Common Edit.
Useful functions for editing Mixing
You can turn individual Parts on/off by using the Mute
function.
1 Press the [MUTE] button.
The [MUTE] lamp lights, indicating that each Part can
be turned on/off.
2 Press any of the Number buttons [1] – [16].
The lamp of the pressed button will be turned off and
the corresponding Part will be muted.
Press the same button again to turn the lamp on and
disengage the mute function for that Part. You can turn
multiple Parts on/off by pressing their buttons.
The Solo function is the opposite of Mute, and lets you
instantly solo a specific Part and mute all others.
1 Press the [SOLO] button.
The [SOLO] lamp lights, indicating that the specific Part
can be soloed.

When changing the value of the parameter in the Mixing
Play or Edit mode, the [E] (Edit Indicator) will appear on the
top right corner of the LCD display. This gives a quick
confirmation that the current Mixing has been modified but
not yet stored. To store the current edited status, follow the
instructions on page 97.
The Compare function lets you switch between the just-
edited Mixing and its original, unedited condition, allowing
you to hear how your edits affect the sound. For
instructions on using Compare, refer to the same function
in the Voice mode on page 97.
Storing the created Mixing
The created mixing setup can be stored as part of the data
of a Song or Pattern. For instructions on storing a Song/
Pattern, see pages 186 and 218.
