* If the exchanged pattern contains no playback data, there
will be no playback. In the case of the preset patterns,
none of the patterns contain playback data for part 1.
Also, keep in mind that the other parts will not necessari-
ly contain playback data.

Selecting a Distant Pattern
If you wish to select a pattern at a distant number
without being restricted by the variable range of the
slider, use the following procedure.
1. Select the part for which you wish to select
a distant pattern as the current part.
2. Press [PTN/SONG] to access the pattern
select page.
During MEGAMIX, the following display will appear.
The pattern number and name of the current part will
be displayed.
fig.8-4TEXT
3. Use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE] dial to select
the pattern.
By changing the current part, you can select patterns
for other parts in the same way. When you press
[TEMPO/MIXER] to return to the mixer page, the pat-
tern of the current part (axis) will change, and the pat-
terns of other parts will all be outside of the variable
range of the slider, meaning that one or the other of
the states shown in the following diagram will apply.

Saving the Exchanged
Pattern
When you have used MEGAMIX to create a pattern
that you like, you can save it as a User Pattern. The
saved pattern can be recalled during normal pattern
playback, just as any other pattern.
1. Use MEGAMIX to create a pattern.
2. Press [MIXER SELECT] to make the
MEGAMIX indicator go dark, exiting
MEGAMIX mode.
3. Press [STOP] to stop pattern playback.
4. Now you can perform the Pattern Write
operation to save the pattern as a User
Pattern (p. 26).
* It is not possible to record a pattern while in MEGAMIX
mode.

Tips when using MEGAMIX to create a pattern
If the patterns that you combine using MEGAMIX
have different time signatures or a different number of
measures, their playback may not be connected appro-
priately. When using MEGAMIX to combine patterns,
it is best to combine patterns of the same number of
measures and time signature.
When you use MEGAMIX to exchange patterns, the
volume balance between parts may change significant-
ly, depending on the phrases being exchanged. In such
cases, use the part mixer to readjust the part level
before saving the pattern. Of course, you can also
modify the pan and key shift settings etc. in the same
way.
In many preset patterns, the various parts are orga-
nized as follows.
Rhythm part: drums
Part 1: for manual playing (contains no play
back data)
Part 2: bass
Part 3: chord 1
Part 4: lead 1
Part 5: chord 2
Part 6: lead 2
Part 7: other
You can refer to this when you exchange the playback
data of a part. For example, you can exchange part 2 if
you want to exchange the bass, or part 4 or 6 if you
want to exchange the lead.
If you follow the above guidelines when creating user
patterns as well, it will be easier to use your patterns
with MEGAMIX.
