Pa800 EasyStart

Press the UPPER button to have the style react to chords in the right hand, and then press FULL UPPER to spread the guitar sound all across the keyboard.

8.Below and to the left of the display are three more controls: MEMORY, BASS INVERSION, and MANUAL BASS. MEMORY, when lit, will keep the accompaniment playing when you take your hands off the keys. BASS INVERSION, when lit, will use the lowest note in the chord you played as the root. MANUAL BASS is just that…. It drops the bass line, and assigns the left side of the keyboard to the bass sound that’s built into the chosen Style. And when you enable MANUAL BASS, the Style stops playing; just the drums continue.

Try the MANUAL BASS button while the Style is playing, and take a bass solo with your left hand!

9.Right beneath the display are four SINGLE TOUCH SETTINGS (STS). Each one of these can completely change the sounds you’re playing, as well as the effects and vocal settings. Are they programmable? Of course. Are they preset for every style? You bet!

a.In Easy Mode, you can see what sound you’ll be playing for each STS right on the main display! You can also see this by touching the “STS” tab at the bottom of the display.

Press STS3 to switch to the “Nylon Slide Pro” sound.. Try pressing a key with high velocity for a string slide!

10.To change the tempo, press and hold the SHIFT button and rotate the TEMPO/VALUE dial. You can also use the TEMPO LOCK button to maintain the same tempo when you switch to a new Style.

Turn the dial up to give your dancers a workout!

11.Don’t forget the X/Y JOYSTICK, ASSIGNABLE SLIDERS and ASSIGNABLE SWITCHES! These controllers are all totally programmable, and can do some unexpected things! For example, may styles use the switches for a ritardando or accelerando, or use switch #2 as a talkover mute!

Set the ASSIGNABLE SLIDERS to “ASSIGN. B” using the SLIDER MODE button, and then manipulate the sliders to change the tone of the guitar!

Cool Tip:

For almost all of the above functions, you can change settings simply by holding down the SHIFT button and pressing the button you want to modify!

Use a complex chord (7th, sus2, sus4, etc.) when playing Styles – the Style playback will vary to fit your voicing! This goes way beyond just changing keys… You might get a differently-structured bass line, or a slight drum variation to fit a suspended chord. This goes for Intros, Endings, Variations AND Fills! It’s one of the many subtle ways that the Pa800 makes your performance more musical.
