Interface basics
Operative modes
Virtual knobs
To change a virtual knob’s position, select it, then use the VALUE
controls to change its position. As an alternative, touch a knob
with your finger and keep it held; then move your fingers up (or
right) to rotate it clockwise, or move it down (or left) to rotate
the knob counter-clockwise.
The position of the virtual knobs often corresponds to that of the
physical knobs, so move these latter to change the virtual knob’s
position.
Virtual drawbars
To change a virtual drawbar’s position, use the physical sliders
on the control panel (provided they are in Drawbars mode).
As an alternative, you can change a drawbar position in the dis-
play. Select it, then use the VALUE controls to change its posi-
tion.
Also, you can touch a drawbar with your fingers and keep in
held. Then move it up or down to change its position.
Icons
Various icons help identifying the type of a file, a Song, a folder.
For example:
Folder
File of Style bank
Standard MIDI File
Operative modes
Pa3X pages are grouped into various operating modes. Each
mode is accessed by pressing the corresponding button in the
MODE section on the control panel.
Each operating mode is marked with a different color code, that
helps you understand at first sight where you are.
Three special modes (Global, Media, and SongBook) overlap the
current operating mode, that remains active in the background.
The SongBook mode can recall the Style Play or Song Play
modes.
The Record mode can be accessed from the Style Play, Sequencer
and Sound modes, and allows for creating new Styles, Songs or
Samples.
The MP3 Record mode can be accessed by keeping the SHIFT
button pressed and pressing the RECORD button, and allows for
recording a Song in MP3 format.
Selected, highlighted items
Any operation carried on on parameters, data or list entries, is
executed on highlighted items. First select the parameter or item,
then execute the operation.
Non-available, grayed-out parameters
When a parameter or command is not currently available, it is
shown in grey on the display. This means it cannot be selected,
but may become available when a different option is selected, or
you switch to a different page.
Shortcuts
Some commands or pages can be recalled by keeping the SHIFT
button pressed, and pressing other buttons or elements in the
display. See the “Shortcuts” chapter on page 262 for a list of avail-
able shortcuts.
