Mixer/Tuning: Sub Scale

This page lets you program an alternative scale for the selected
tracks (via the "Track Assign" parameter).
tracks (if any) use the basic scale set in Global mode (see
"Main Scale" on page 202).
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 Pa500 to an external MIDI recorder as System Exclu-
sive data.
Note: A Quarter Tone Sub-Scale can be selected by using the SC
Preset buttons (only available in some models). See below how to
use these buttons during recording.
Parameters
See "Mixer/Tuning: Sub Scale" on page 90.
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.
Recording Quarter Tone settings or SC Pre-
sets into a Song
Access the Sequencer mode and go to the Mixer/Tuning > Sub
Scale page. Check each track you want to apply the sub scale, by
using the Track Assign checkboxes.
Press RECORD and enter 16-track recording mode. No Quarter
Tone selection is done, nor SC Preset is selected, and any change
to the default sub scale settings is deleted.
Start recording. Immediately after having started the sequencer,
choose one of the SC Presets (or press one of the SC Preset but-
tons on the control panel – only available on some models). The
selection is recorded to the Song.
If you are recording a Backing Sequence, using Quarter Tone or
SC Presets is the same as in Style Play mode. No need to assign
the sub scale to the various tracks before accessing the Record
mode.

Effects: FX Select

The remaining
This page allows you to select effects to be assigned to the four
Internal FX processors (A-D).
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 A...D
Effects assigned to the corresponding effect processors. Usually,
A and C are reverbs, while B and D are modulating effects (cho-
rus, flanger, delay...). For a list of the available effects, see the
"Advanced Edit" addendum in the Accessory CD.
FX Amount
Volume of the effect, that is added to the dry (uneffected) signal.
B to A, D to C
Amount of the B effect going back to the input of the A effect, or
of the D effect going back to the input of the C effect.
Mod.Track (Modulating Track)
Source track for modulating MIDI messages. You can modulate
an effect parameter with a MIDI message generated by a physical
controller.
