Start up
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the supplied power cord
to the dedicated socket on the rear
of the instrument. Then, plug it
into a wall socket. You don't need
to worry about the local voltage,
since the Pa800 uses a universal
power adapter.
Turning the instrument on and off
•
Press the POWER switch on the rear panel to turn the
instrument on. The display will light up, showing the boot
procedure.
Note: When turning the instrument on, RAM PCM Samples
used by some User Sounds may be automatically loaded,
depending on the status of the "PCM Autoload" parameter
(see page 236). This may take some time for loading.
•
Press again the POWER switch on the rear panel to turn the
instrument off.
Warning: When turning the instrument off, all data con-
tained in RAM (Song recorded or edited in Sequencer mode,
Samples in edit and not yet saved) will be lost. MIDI Grooves
generated by the Time Slice function will be lost, too.
On the contrary, data contained in the SSD memory (Factory
data, User Sounds, Performances, Styles and Multisamples)
will be preserved. Saved Samples will be preserved, too.
Controlling the Volume
Master Volume
Use the MASTER VOLUME slider to con-
trol the overall volume of the instrument.
This slider controls the volume of the sound
going to the internal speakers, the main
(LEFT & RIGHT) OUTPUTs, and the
HEADPHONES connector.
The 1 & 2 OUTPUT connectors are not
affected by this slider. So, use the mixer's or
speaker's level controls to adjust the volume.
Note: Begin with a moderate level, then raise
the MASTER VOLUME up. Don't keep the
volume at an uncomfortable level for too long.
Keyboard, Style and Song Volume
Use the BALANCE slider to control the relative
volume of RealTime/RT tracks (keyboard,
pads), Style tracks (drums, percussions,
bass...), Song tracks.
•
When in Style Play mode, this slider bal-
ances between the Realtime (keyboard)
tracks, and the Accompaniment (Style)
and Pad tracks.
•
When in Song Play mode, this slider bal-
ance between the Realtime (keyboard)
tracks, and both Sequencer and Pad
tracks.
The Sequencer's BALANCE slider
The Sequencer's BALANCE slider sets the relative volume of the
two onboard sequencers (Sequencer 1 and Sequencer 2).
•
Move it fully left to set Sequencer 1 to the maximum level
and Sequencer 2 to zero.
•
Move it fully right to set Sequencer 1 to zero and Sequencer
2 to the maximum level.
•
Move it to the center to set both Sequencer at the same
level.
Note: When turning the instrument on, move this slider to the cen-
ter, to avoid starting a Song at the minimum level.
Headphones
Connect a pair of headphones to the HEADPHONES output,
under the left part of the keyboard (just under the joystick). You
MASTER VOLUME
can use headphones with an impedance of 16-200Ω (50Ω sug-
gested). Use a headphone splitter to connect more than one pair
MAX
of headphones.
Audio Outputs
MIN
Audio outputs allows you to connect the Pa800 to an external
amplification system.
Stereo. Connect two mono cables to the main (LEFT, RIGHT)
OUTPUTs. Connect the other end of the cables to a stereo chan-
nel of your mixer, two mono channels, two powered monitors,
or the CD, LINE IN or TAPE/AUX input of your audio system.
Don't use the PHONO inputs of your audio system!
