5.10. MIXER

THE MIXER PANEL

The mixer group has 16 'strips', one for each 'track' as in the image below. Each track represents one of the 16 midi channels of the multitimbral midi synthesizer.

Each track can be one of the following:

• An arranger track
• A midifile track
• A left hand track
• A right hand track

MIDI channel numbering can be confusing. MIDI Channels are named 1 to 16, but they are represented by physical numbers that are one less than that, i.e., 0 to 15. The numbers shown below are the physical number. To get the MIDI logical channel number, Please add +1 to all "Channel MIDI" in left column

Generally you can check this by looking at the number for the drums channel, which by convention is normally MIDI logical channel 10.

As and example: RIGHT1 below is MIDI Channel 13

Please not also that the mixer strips in arranger mode are ordered as in the centre column below.

For MIDI and Karaoke files, the channels to which the sounds are sent, and that the strips control, are in the right-most column below.

The following may be clearer if I have it correctly. All MIDI/Track numbers below are MIDI channel names 1 to 16, rather than the physical coding 0 to 15
