Chapter 7: The MIXER/EFFECTS Key

MIDI continuous controllers, as a series of many discrete

events (in this case, STEREO VOLUME, STEREO PAN,

or OUTPUT/EFFECT VOLUME system exclusive

events). These discrete events can be edited in detail in

Step Edit mode.

2. NO:

Real time mixer changes are not recorded. If prerecorded

real time mix changes already exist in drum tracks, they

are ignored.

COMMENT: The changes to the stereo mix volume and pan

will only be recorded or played back if the Stereo Mix

field in the Mixer Source Select section of the screen is set to

SEQUENCE. Likewise, the volume slider movements in the

Individual Outputs/Effects Mixer will only be recorded or

played back if the Indiv Out/Effects Mix field in the Mixer

Source Select section of the screen is set to SEQUENCE.

COMMENT: If you use overdub mode to add mix changes to

a region of the track where previous mix changes exist, the

old changes are not erased, but rather the new changes will

be added in between the old ones, producing unpredictable

results. For this reason, it is a good idea to record your

automated mix data on its own separate drum track, then

always use record mode (not overdub mode) to punch-in any

mix changes. This will automatically erase the old changes

throughout the punch-in region, but since the mix changes

are on a separate track, any drum notes will not be erased.

COMMENT: A large number of these mix change events can

cause minor slowing of playback due to the large processing

requirement. To reduce the number of these events, increase

the Minimum Change field’s setting for these event types

(in the MIDI Input Filter screen) to as high a number as

acceptable before recording mix changes. This will thin out

the mix data during recording, lessening the processing

requirement in playback.

COMMENT: As with any other mid-sequence control

changes, these mix changes only take effect when played in a

sequence. This means that if you play a section of a sequence

containing a specific controller event, the last played value of

that controller will remain until another occurrence of the

same controller is played, even if you stop the sequence and

start playing it from another location. Because of this,

whenever you use one of these events within a sequence, it is

important to insert another event of the same type at the

beginning of the sequence to set the volume, pan or mixer/

effects setting to an initial value.
