This will avoid overlapping your playing or singing with the internal Sounds or the voice recorded in the MP3 Song.

Settings for the Digital Drawbars are memorized in a Keyboard Set, a Style or a MIDI Song, and may be considered the equivalent of an organ’s preset. A single Digital Drawbars Sound can be assigned to the keyboard, and only one to the Style.

Page 357 Connecting and activating the microphone Microphone types There are two main types of microphones that you can connect to your Pa5X: dynamic and condenser. Dynamic microphones don’t require powering. They are usually conceived for live use, and have a narrow cardioid or hypercardioid pattern for better rejec- tion of stage noise.

Page 369 Shapingthemicrophoneinput |359 Applied appropriately, the difference between loud and soft is reduced without killing the interesting dynamics in your performance. Threshold control sets the singing level at and above which the amount of gain reduction (compression) specified by the Ratio control will occur. The range is 0 dB to -40 dB: 0 dB being the loudest input signal the Voice Processor can accept without distortion and -40 dB being a very quiet signal.
Page 370 360| MicrophoneInput Use the Threshold knob (ranging from 0 to 100) to define the minimum singing level you need to reach in order for the Gate to open and let your voice sound. The factory default setting is very sensitive to allow a wide range of singing levels but it may also allow more nearby instrumental sounds through when you are not singing.
