Live Performing
Pa2X has been carefully designed to be used live. The "realtime"
word has its full meaning in this instrument. Performances
allow the instant selection of all the tracks on the keyboard and a
suitable Style; STSs allow an instant selection of the keyboard
tracks; Styles are the realtime backing companions for your real-
time playing; Songs can be mixed in realtime; the SongBook is
the quick way to select a song from a sophisticated music data-
base.
Easy Mode
If you are the kind of musician that prefers to play, more than
deal with technical matters, you can use the Pa2X in Easy Mode,
and forget all its most powerful features, and let them out of
your way.
