Mic Setting Section
Use these buttons to check the audio input level, set the volume
of the microphone input and effects, and turn the microphone
and harmony voices on or off.
AUDIO IN LED
This LED shows the level of the audio signal entering the
AUDIO IN connectors (either mic or line). Three different col-
ors (green, orange, red) show the level. Try to keep the level so
that this LED remains on green most of the time, with orange
appearing at signal peaks. Never go to red.
Off: No signal entering.
Green: Low- to mid-level signal entering. If the LED
turns off too often, the input gain is too low.
When a microphone is connected to the LEFT
connector, use the MIC GAIN control to increase
the input level. When a line-level device is con-
nected, use the source device's own volume con-
trol.
Orange: Slight overload in the signal path. This is fine if it
turns on only on signal peaks.
Red: Clipping is occurring in the signal path. Use the
MIC GAIN control and/or the source device's
volume control to lower the input level.
See "AUDIO IN Section" on page 17 for more
information on the AUDIO IN connectors.

selected by touching the side tabs. Each Preset bank may contain
up to eight Presets.

ant (High Speed). Use it to connect to the Pa900 an USB Flash
Memory stick, an external CD-ROM drive, an USB hard disk. To
access the connected device, go to the Media edit mode.

or enter (LED on) standby.
Press it briefly to let the instrument exit standby. In case there
are User Sounds based on User PCM Samples, loading may take
some time.
Keep it pressed for about one second to let it enter standby.
Warning: When the instrument is in standby mode, it is still con-
nected to the power line. Accessing the inside of the instrument can
be dangerous. To completely disconnect the instrument from the
power, unplug the power plug from the power socket on the wall.
Note: To avoid wasting power, Pa900 will by default automatically
enter standby mode after two hours of non-active use (playing,
pressing buttons or using the touch-screen). Please save your data
(Performances, Styles, Songs, and so on) before taking a prolonged
pause. You can change the auto power-off timer in Global > Gen-
eral Controls > Clock & Power.
