The Individual Outputs/Echo Send Mixer

In addition to the stereo outputs, any sound may be assigned to play

through any one of the 8 polyphonic assignable mix outputs.

Independently, any sound may be sent to the echo mix output. The echo

send mix level is independent for each sound; the level to the assignable

mix outputs is not adjustable.

To access the Individual Output Assign / Echo Send Mixer screen, press

the DRUM MIX key, then select option 2. The following screen will

appear:

Similar to the Stereo Mix screen, this screen presents a graphic

simulation of a multichannel mixer, showing a simulated volume slider

and an output assignment for each of the 16 pads in pad bank A (A01–

A16). To view other pad banks, press the BANK 2 key.

To adjust the volume level of the individual echo send for a particular

sound:

1. Press the pad for the sound that you want to adjust; the small triangle

on the screen will move directly above the number of the selected

pad.

2. Rotate the data entry knob. As you turn it, the graphic volume slider

will move up or down, indicating that the volume of the selected

sound at the echo send output is being changed. The graphic volume

slider can be thought of as an effects send on a hardware mixing

board.

To change the assignment to the assignable mix outputs for a particular

sound:

1. Press the pad for the sound that you want to adjust; the small triangle

on the screen will move directly above the number of the selected

pad;

2. Press the CURSOR UP key. The small triangle will now point

upwards, toward the number (or “-”) indicating the current output

assignment.

3. Rotate the data entry knob. Turning it will rotate through nine choices:

1 2 ... 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 ... 240 241
