Reference
If so, go to the Sequencer operating mode and load the SMF.
Then, manually reassign the non-matching Sounds, replacing
them with similar Sounds on the Pa500. Finally, save the SMF
again, and you will be able to play it in Song Play mode with the
correct Sounds.
NRPN Sound parameters
GM-compliant Standard MIDI Files can contain NRPN (#99,
98) Control Change messages. These messages are used to mod-
ify some Sound parameters before starting a Song. The following
NRPN messages are recognized by the Pa500:
Note: These controls are reset when stopping the Song, or selecting
a new Song.
Keyboard, Pad and Sequencer tracks
The Pa500 is equipped with a double sequencer. Each Song can
play a maximum of 16 tracks, for a total of 32 sequencer tracks.
In addition, you can play the keyboard with four additional Key-
board tracks (Upper 1-3 and Lower). You can edit the Volume
and Play/Mute status for these tracks on the main page of the
Song Play mode (see illustration below).
While in Song Play mode, you can still select Performances or
STSs from the latest selected Style. To select a different set of
STSs, you must first select a different Style.
In addition to Keyboard tracks, selecting a different Style or
SongBook entry may change sounds assigned to the PADs.
When you enter Song Play mode from the Style Play mode, Key-
board and Pad tracks are the same as in Style Play mode.
