8.1 mixer introduction

the mixer button is the second index button on the top side of the device, and is represented by the mixer symbol ıIIı. using mixer you can mute and unmute tracks, select different mute groups, control the gain for the drum group and synth group respectively, as well as control the master compressor and overall project gain. press and hold this button to access the project-wide mixer functions.

8.2 mixer parameters

drum group
adjust gain for tracks1–4 as a single group.

synth group
adjust gain for tracks5–8 as a single group.

punch

master

adjust the master gain level.

8.3 mute track

while holding mixer, the track keys 1–16 act as toggles for muting and unmuting the corresponding tracks.

tracks that are lit are active, playing audio and sending midi information by default. tracks that are unlit are muted.

8.4 mute groups

mute groups allow you to store different mute configurations. each project holds 10 mute groups. use the value keys 1–0 to select which mute group to be active. the active mute group is stored per pattern.

8.5 mute audio

by default, muting a track will stop any notes from being triggered. however, it is possible to mute only the audio signal sent to the master bus. the track will still output midi and audio signal to the effect and tape tracks.

to do this, while holding the mixer button, press the shift key. the shift key will light red. now when muting tracks they will turn red when muted. this will mute only the track audio but not the outgoing midi.

pro-tip: you can mix and match the two mute types, and store these settings across multiple mute groups.

8.6 mixer + app

when paired with the OP-Z app, holding mixer will display the mixer page. 

the mixer page gives an overview of your track levels. on this page it is possible to adjust the faders with your fingers much like a traditional mixing desk. 

the buttons below the faders allow you to mute / unmute tracks. when muted the fader will be greyed out.
