Megamix is a function which lets you play back a pat-
tern while you exchange the musical data of one part
with the data from a different pattern. You can com-
bine phrases for each instrument to create a complete-
ly different pattern, just as if you were creating a
remix.

* This diagram is intended to explain the concept of
MEGAMIX. It does not imply that phrases of actual pat-
terns are as shown in the diagram.
Exchanging Phrases
1. Select and play back a pattern.

4. Use part sliders [R]Ð[7] to select the pattern
for each part.
The right side of the display will show the pattern
number which you selected by moving the slider.
The slider can be used to select from the ten patterns
before or after the pattern number of the current part.
For example, if the pattern of the current part is
ÒP:021,Ó raising the slider all the way up would select
ÒP:031,Ó and lowering the slider all the way down
would select ÒP:011.Ó
The graphic will also change as you move the slider.
The slider graphic will be displayed with the pattern
of the current part as the axis.
When you change the current part, the pattern which
is the axis will also change, and the pattern numbers
that can be selected by each slider will also change.
fig.8-3
In the example of this diagram, changing the current
part from part 2 to part 3 has caused the variable
range of the slider to change from P:011ÐP:031 to
P:005ÐP:025. The patterns of the rhythm part and of
part 5 are now outside of the variable range, but these
pattern numbers will be maintained unless you move
the slider.
5. The pattern which was exchanged for each
part will be selected when the pattern
repeats.
To exit MEGAMIX mode, press [MIXER SELECT] to
make the MEGAMIX indicator go dark.

* Even after you exit MEGAMIX mode, the exchanged set-
tings will be maintained until you select a different pat-
tern. It is not possible to record a pattern while the pat-
tern is exchanged.
* The time signature and number of measures of the pat-
terns played back by MEGAMIX will depend on the time
signature and number of measures of the rhythm part pat-
tern. Also, the mute status of each part will be maintained
in MEGAMIX.
