Song Play operating mode
Effects: FX A…D
Reference
Note: When you stop the Song, or select a different Song, the
default effects are selected again. You can, however, stop the Song,
change the effects, then start the Song again with the new effects.
Edit the Song in Sequencer mode to permanently change the effects.
Note: The default effect settings can be memorized in the Global-
Song Play Setup, by choosing the “Write Global-Song Play Setup”
command from the page menu (see page 180).
FX A…D
Effects assigned to the corresponding effect processors. Usually,
A and C are reverbs, while B and D are modulating effects (cho-
rus, flanger, delay…). For a list of the available effects, see the
“Advanced Edit” addendum in the Accessory CD.
FX Amount
Volume of the effect, that is added to the dry (uneffected) signal.
B to A, D to C
Amount of the B effect going back to the input of the A effect, or
of the D effect going back to the input of the C effect.
Mod.Track (Modulating Track)
Source track for modulating MIDI messages. You can modulate
an effect parameter with a MIDI message generated by a physical
controller or a Song track.
Effects in Song Play mode
Pa2X is equipped with four effect processors, or DSPs (Digital
Signal Processors), to process MIDI tracks. In Song Play mode
you can have two or four effects at the same time, depending on
the midifile you are reading.
Effects A and B are usually reserved to both players and Pads,
while effects C and D are usually reserved to Keyboard tracks.
Depending on the status of the “Ply.2 FX Mode” parameter, each
effect pair could be reserved to a different Player (see page 179).
You can also create Songs that make use of all four effects in
Sequencer mode.
• A Song created on the Pa2X (in Sequencer mode) can use
up to 4 effects (usually 2 reverbs + 2 modulating effects);
each track may use the A/B or C/D pair.
• A Standard MIDI File or Karaoke™ file will only use 2
effects (usually 1 reverb + 1 modulating effect). This lets
you use the remaining 2 effects for the Realtime tracks.
• When using both players at the same time, and the “Ply.2
FX Mode” is set to “AB” mode (see page 179), they only use
the A/B pair, while the C/D pair is reserved to the Keyboard
tracks.
• When using both players at the same time, and the “Ply.2
FX Mode” is set to “CD” mode (see page 179), Player 1 uses
the A/B pair, while Player 2 uses the C/D pair, sharing it
with Keyboard tracks.
