5.6.1 Mix Pass Stack
There is an eight-position Mix Pass Stack which holds up to eight Mix Passes
in memory for immediate use. Mix Passes can only be played back from the
Mix Pass Stack. The Mix Pass Stack is located in the AutoTouchPlus window
on the GC.
Organization The eight positions of the Mix Pass Stack are represented by eight Mix Pass
boxes arranged horizontally. The number of the Mix Pass will appear within
the Mix Stack position (box) in which it is stored. A Mix Pass can appear only
once within the Mix Pass Stack.
The box the furthest to the right is the position where Mix Passes are added
to the stack. As Mix Passes are added, any existing passes shift to the left.
When the Mix Pass Stack is full and a new pass is added, the Mix Pass in
the last position (far left position) will be deleted from the stack as one to its
right is shifted down.
In the example above, only three Mix Passes are loaded into the Mix Pass
Stack and the #5 pass is Active.
Adding a Pass to the Stack Mix Passes are added to the Mix Pass Stack in the following ways:
• CreatinganewMixPass:ThenewlycreatedMixPasswillbeaddedto
the top of the Mix Pass Stack and becomes active. See ‘Creating a New

• Right-clickingaMixPassintheMixTree:TheMixTreeRightClickmenu
will open. Selecting Set As Read Mix will cause the selected Mix Pass
to be added to the top of the Mix Pass Stack and become active.
Active Mix Pass The ‘Active Mix Pass’ is the one played back and will be the basis for a new
Mix Pass if any changes are made. It contains the ‘Read Mix Data’ that is
used as new passes are created. The Active Mix Pass is indicated by a green
light above the active position and the box containing the pass number is
highlighted.
The Active Mix Pass may also be referred to as the Active Pass or Read Mix
Pass.
Selecting an Active Mix Pass The Active Mix Pass is selected from the Mix Pass Stack in one of three ways:
• ClickingaMixPassintheMixPassStack:ThatMixPasswillbecome
