Introduction
Note: There is no synchronization with MP3 files. Pads can only be
synchronized to Standard MIDI Files. Therefore, when an MP3 file
is assigned to the last select Sequencer, Pads will synchronize to the
last Standard MIDI File that has been played back.
About Pads’ and the Sequencers’ Play command. When you
press one of the PLAY buttons to start the corresponding
Sequencer, all Pads will stop playing.
You can jump to the Style Play > Pad/Assignable Switch
page by keeping SHIFT pressed, and pressing one of the PAD
buttons.
i UPPER OCTAVE
These buttons transpose the selected track in steps of a whole
octave (12 semitones; max ±2 octaves). The octave transposition
value is always shown (in octaves) next to the Sound’s name.
Press both buttons together, to reset the Octave Transpose to zero.
Note: The Octave Transpose has no effect on tracks set to Drum
mode (and, even if set in a different status, on the Drum and Per-
cussion tracks).
– Lowers the selected track an octave.
+ Raises the selected track an octave.
You can jump to the Style Play > Tuning page by keeping
SHIFT pressed, and pressing one of the UPPER OCTAVE but-
tons.
j TRANSPOSE
These buttons transpose the whole instrument in semitone steps
(Master Transpose). The transposition value is usually shown on
the page header in the display.
Press both buttons together, to reset the Master Transpose to zero.
Note: The Master Transpose has no effect on tracks set to Drum
mode (and, even if set in a different status, on the Drum and Per-
cussion tracks). See “Track Controls: Mode” on page 99, and
“Track Controls: Mode” on page 173.
Note: You can also transpose MP3 files. Keep in mind, however,
that transposition is limited to the range -6…+5 semitones. This
range is enough to cover all keys, but allows to avoid excessive audio
degradation. Any further transposing will have no effect. So, you
may see a +7 transpose value shown in the display, but the MP3
will still be limited to +5 semitones.
Lowers the Master Transpose in steps of a semi-
tone.
Raises the Master Transpose in steps of a semi-
tone.
You can jump to the Global > Transpose Control page
by keeping SHIFT pressed, and pressing one of the TRANSPOSE
buttons.
k HOST(F)
This is a USB Type A (Master/Host) connector, USB 2.0 compli-
ant (High Speed). It duplicates the USB connector located in the
rear panel. Use it to connect to the Pa800 an USB Flash Memory
stick, an external CD-ROM drive, an USB hard disk. To access
the connected device, go to the Media edit mode (see “Media
edit mode” on page 243).
