Mixer/Tuning: Volume/Pan

Mixer/Tuning: Volume/Pan
This page lets you set the volume and pan for each of the Key-
board or Song tracks.
Note: The play/mute status of a Song track may be reset when
selecting a Song created on a Pa-Series instrument.
Use the TRACK SELECT button to switch from the Keyboard to
the Song tracks, and vice versa.
Parameters
The parameters shown in this page are the same already seen for
the Style Play mode. See "Mixer/Tuning: Volume/Pan" on
page 114 for details.

Mixer/Tuning: FX Send

Pa900 is equipped with two groups of effect processors (A and
B). In Song Play mode, these groups can be used to process Key-
board, Pad and MIDI tracks.
• Keyboard tracks always use the effects of the FX B group.
• Pad tracks always use the effects of the FX A group.
• Standard MIDI Files and Karaoke files can only use the
effects of the FX A group.
• Standard MIDI Files created on a Pa-Series instrument (in
Sequencer mode) can use effects of the FX A and B groups.
Choosing and editing the effects is done in the dedicated Effect
section (see "Effects: A/B FX Configuration" on page 173).
In case you do not want to hear the direct signal, just set the Dry
parameter to Off (see the "Dry" parameter above).
You can assign to the Master FXs any kind of available effects,
but we suggest you assign the effects based on this scheme:
A-Master 1 Reverb processor for the Song tracks.
A-Master 2 Modulating FX processor for the Song tracks.
B-Master 1 Reverb processor for the Keyboard tracks.
B-Master 2 Modulating FX processor for the Realtime (Key-
board) tracks.
Use the TRACK SELECT button to switch from Keyboard to
Song tracks, and vice-versa.
Note: When you stop, then start the Song again, or select a differ-
ent Song, the default Song track settings are selected again. You
can, however, pause the Song, change the effects, then exit from
pause and start the Song again. Edit the Song in Sequencer mode
to permanently change the effects.
Note: Track FX setting can be saved as a general setting in the
Global > Mode Preferences > Song & Sequencer page (see "Save
Trk & FX" on page 253). This will help adapting the Pa900's sound
to personal taste for any Standard MIDI File (excluding those
saved by a Pa-Series instrument, that may override the general
preferences).
Parameters

for details.

Mixer/Tuning: EQ Gain

In this page you can set the three-band equalization (EQ) for
each individual track.
Use the TRACK SELECT button to switch from the Keyboard to
the Song tracks, and vice-versa.
Hint: Track EQ can be saved as a general setting in the Global >
Mode Preferences > Song & Sequencer page (see "Save Trk & FX"
on page 253). This will help adapting the Pa900's sound to personal
taste for any Standard MIDI File you will ever play (excluding those
saved by a Pa-Series instrument, that may override the general
preferences). Need a lighter Bass track? Save the right equalization,
and the Bass will stay light with all the subsequent Songs.
