Notice the small squares above the track status indicators for Tracks 1 and 2, reminding
you that you’ve now got material on two tracks.

2. Press the MISC soft button to bring up the SongMode:MISC page.
3. Set RecMode to FixLen.
Since you’ve defined the length of your song with the bass track, setting RecMode to
FixLen means that the song will just play through once each time you record a new part.
4. Record the organ in the same way that you recorded the bass track in the previous section.
Notice that you can do this from the MISC page, without returning to the MAIN page.
5. Continue recording instruments until you have played all the parts of your song.
Mix Your Song
The SongMode:MIX page lets you change the panning and volume levels for the tracks in your
song. Needless to say, this is one of the most important steps in the completion of your song
production, and potentially one of the most creative. This example will keep things simple by
showing you how to change the volume level of one of your instruments. We’ll also take a quick
look at the track mute feature.
1. Press the MIXER soft button to bring up the SongMode:MIX page.
The icons that represent pan position knobs and volume level faders resemble the controls
on a traditional mixing board. Manipulating them should be quite intuitive. Simply
position the cursor over a pan position knob or volume level fader, then turn the Alpha
Wheel to set the level you want.
For example, suppose you want to turn down the organ on Track 3:
