mixer screen. In this mode, the stereo mixer settings never

change unless you change them, even if the active sequence

or program is changed. This option is useful for people who

always want the mix settings to stay where they last put them.

Note that these settings must be saved to the APS file before

power is removed, or any mix changes will be lost.

• The Indiv out asn / echo mix field:

This field works the same way as the Stereo mix field above except that

it determines the source of the Echo Send Volume, Individual Output

Assignment, and Follows Stereo Volume setting instead of the stereo

volume and pan.

The contents of these 2 fields are saved in APS files.

The Automated mixer section:

• The Record mix changes field:

This is a choice field and has two options:

1. YES:

If you're recording on a drum track, all real-time changes

made to the volume or pan in the Stereo Mix screen (or to the

Echo Send level in the Individual Outputs/Echo Send Mixer

screen) are recorded, just as with an automated mixer. When

played back, the mixer settings will change exactly as they

did while recording, both audibly and visually on the graphic

screens. These movements are stored like MIDI continuous

controllers, as a series of many discrete events (in this case,

STEREO VOLUME, STEREO PAN, or ECHO SEND LEVEL

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/Echo Send Mixer will only be recorded or played back if

the Indiv Out/Echo Send 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
