>Does the part mixer function like a regular mixer?
>How many channels does it mix?
There are 8 sliders that have multiple functions depending
on what mixer mode is selected.
I don't have the 505 or manual handy but I think they are:
Level
Pan
Pitch Shift
EFX/Out
Delay
Reverb
Megamix
They apply their changes once moved directly to the part that
corresponds to the slider.
Some such as EFX/OUT just toggle the Part from DRY to EFX on
whereas Level operates in the range 0-128.
ps.
The D-Beam will transmit MIDI messages depending on what
parameter it is assigned to and only when MIDI tx in on.

Another cool feature that differs from the 303 is that it
can operate the internal synth at the same time as it transmits
MIDI for any part where this feature is turned on.
