Undoing Mix Scene Recalls

MIDI Program Change messages can be used to recall mix scenes, providing snap-
shot-style mix automation. Program Change messages can be transmitted from a con-
trolling computer, MIDI sequencer, or MIDI keyboard to the 03D to recall mix scenes. 
For example, most MIDI keyboards transmit a Program Change message when a voice 
is selected. This could be used to recall the corresponding mix scene on the 03D. So with 
just one button press, your synthesizer, 03D, and other MIDI equipment is reconfig-
ured ready for the next song or scene.

When a mix scene is recalled using the [RECALL] button or Scene Mem. page on the 
03D, the 03D transmits a Program Change message. This allows simultaneous mix 
scene recalls on cascaded 03Ds. It can also be used to recall programs on other MIDI 
equipment, such as an effects program on an external effects processor, or a voice on a 
synthesizer. Recalling scene memory #10, for example, could be used to recall voice #10 
on a synthesizer. Program Changes messages transmitted by the 03D can be recorded 
by a MIDI sequencer along with other MIDI data. During playback, mix scenes can 
then be recalled automatically. Your MIDI sequencer’s edit functions can be used to edit 
and enter new Program Change messages. Automated mix scene recalls can also be 
achieved using the 03D’s built-in automix function.

To recall mix scenes using MIDI Program Change messages you must:

Manual mix scene recalls can be recorded in an automix. When the automix is replayed, 
the mix scenes are then recalled automatically. See Automix on page 175 for more infor-
mation.

Mix scene recalls can be undone using the SCENE MEMORY 
[UNDO/REDO] button. When this button is pressed, the 03D returns to 
the mix settings that were active before the last mix scene was recalled. This 
is useful when a mix scene is recalled by mistake. Pressing it again redos the 
last mix scene recall, making the last mix scene recall active. This button 
does not work when there is no scene memory recall to undo, such as when 
the 03D is first turned.

The [UNDO/REDO] button can also be used for A/B mix comparisons. To compare 
different mix settings, for example, store them to two scene memories. Recall one scene 
memory, then the other. The [UNDO/REDO] button can then be used to quickly tog-
gle between the two mixes, allowing you to concentrate on the sound.
