Link Mode
The two onboard Sequencers can work each one with a different
Tempo (Off), or use both the same Tempo (various Link
modes).
You can turn the Link Mode on by pressing the TEMPO LOCK
button and turning its LED on (by default, Beat mode is selected
the first time). This also turns the Tempo Lock function on.
Hint: You can always start both sequencers simultaneously, by
keeping the SHIFT button held down while pressing one of the
(PLAY/STOP) controls.

Fast Play
When checked, this function allows to skip the empty setup
beats at the beginning of a song, and immediately start from the
first note. However, any setup data are read and considered.
Note: When Pa500 is driving an external musical instrument, the
fast transfer of MIDI data to the MIDI OUT or USB port may
cause a delay to the Song's start. Therefore, we suggest to turn this
function off when Pa500 is hooked to other instruments.

"Performance recalls FX CD" parameter is left
unchecked – see above).
