Tweaking a Bass Part
You have now customized the drums in your style. Now lets work on the BASS. First we can choose a new
sound, and then edit the parameters of that sound.
This procedure can be repeated for every part. The list of parameters than can be Edited are Cutoff,
Resonance, Attack, Decay, Release, and Vibrato – including Vibrato Depth, Speed, and Delay.
1. Return to the STYLE PLAY mode.
2. MUTE the DRUM/PERC and ACC 1/5 parts. (Push both EDIT KEYS to MUTE each Part)
3. Turn the MEMORY feature back on and play a Csus chord on the low end of the PA-80’s
keyboard (C, F, G). You should hear only the Bass playing at this point.
4. Highlight the BASS, which at this point is DARKR&BBASS.
Note: Be sure that the PROGRAM button to the right of the PA-80 is lit
5. Select the BASS BANK using the PROGRAM BANK selector keys.
6. Choose the PICKED BASS from the menu.
7. Press the MENU button, and select TRK EDIT from the MENU on the display.
8. Now you are in the TRACK EDIT screen. The BASS icon should be highlighted, and the word
RES is flashing.
9. This indicates the Resonance. Press F2 and use the VALUE WHEEL to dial up a value of 20.
10. Press F1 and use the value wheel to change the parameter to CUTOFF.
11. Press F2 and use the value wheel to dial up, or actually down, to a value of –24.
12. Groovy sounding, huh? Return to the STYLE PLAY mode.
Un-mute the DRUM/PERC and ACCOMP 1/5 parts in the display by pressing both of the EDIT KEYS
associated with that part. Sounds even better.

Accompaniment into individual parts, and change the sound of one part
1. Press the TRK SELECT button in the lower left corner of the display.
