1) Press AUTOMIX so it is lit.
2) Reset your song to the beginning and adjust the set-
tings as desired for the beginning of your song.
3) Hold SCENE and press TAP to create a snapshot of
your initial settings.
4) Advance the VS-1680 to the point in time where
you want these settings to change and adjust them
as desired. Then, hold SCENE and press TAP.
5) Repeat step #4 to create additional snapshots as
desired.

hear the results.
