Interface structure

Backing Sequence

	4 Realtime tracks, 8 Style tracks, 4 Pads.
Song	16 Song tracks.

You can only see up to 8 tracks in the display. So, use the TRACK SELECT button to switch to the other (hidden) tracks. For example, when in Style Play, you can use this but- ton to switch from the Realtime tracks and the Style tracks.

When opening an edit environment or a selecting page, the current operating mode is still working in the background.

INTERFACE STRUCTURE

Thanks to its multitasking operating system, the Pa50 user interface is structured in “overlapping”, active layers. From the lower level:

• operating modes (Style Play, Backing Sequence, Song Play, Song, Program)

• edit environments (Global, Disk)

• selecting windows (Style Select, Song Select, Program Select, Performance Select).

Operating modes. (See diagram at the bottom of this page). At the lowest level, an operating mode is always active. The current operating mode is indicated by the lit LED on the STYLE PLAY, B.SEQ, SONG PLAY, SONG or PROGRAM button in the MODE section. The relevant icon lights up in the display.

An operating mode is divided into a main page (the page where you usually play a Style, a Song or a Program), a menu, and a series of edit pages.

Press MENU to access the Menu. Use the MENU and PAGE buttons to browse across the various edit pages. Press EXIT to go back to the main page.
