Mixer/Tuning: Tuning
Reference
Mixer/Tuning: Tuning
Parameters
All parameters in this page are the same found in Global mode.
See “Mixer/Tuning: Tuning” on page 98).
Mixer/Tuning: Sub Scale
This page lets you program an alternative scale for the selected
tracks (via the “Track Assign” parameter). The remaining tracks
(if any) use the basic scale set in Global mode (see “Main Scale”
on page 157).
Note: Quarter Tone selection and activation of the Sub-Scale on
each track of a Song, can be received by MIDI (i.e., by an external
sequencer or controller). Conversely, selection of Quarter Tone set-
tings, or activation of the Sub-Scale on each track of the Song, can
be sent by the Pa300 to an external MIDI recorder as System
Exclusive data.
Parameters
All parameters in this page are the same found in Global mode.
See “Mixer/Tuning: Sub Scale” on page 98.
Track Assign
Check the parameter corresponding to each track where the
Sub-Scale must be used.
Play/Mute icon
Track’s play/mute status.
Play status. The track can be heard.
Mute status. The track cannot be heard.
Effects: A/B FX Configuration
This page allows you to select the effects for the A (Song) and B
(Keyboard) FX groups. You can use the “FX A” and “FX B” side
tabs to switch from one group to the other one. Songs created in
Sequencer mode on a Pa-Series instrument can also use the B FX
group.
The effect types and the FX matrix are the same seen for the
Style Play mode (see “Effects: A/B FX Configuration” on
page 100).
Note: When you stop the Song, or select a different Song, the
default effects are selected again. You can, however, stop the Song,
change the effects, then start the Song again. Save the Song to per-
manently change the effects.
FX Group
Use these side tabs to choose the FX group (A or B) for the cor-
responding track.
Pa300 includes two groups of effects (FX A and FX B). While in
Song Play mode, the A group is reserved to the Song and Pad
tracks, the B group to the Keyboard tracks.
However, Songs created in Sequencer mode could also assign the
B group to the Song tracks.
Parameters
All parameters in this page are the same found in the same page
of the Song Play mode (see “Effects: A/B FX Configuration” on
page 119).
