How to use the Quarter Tone function with a
footswitch or Assignable Switch
You can assign the “Quarter Tone” function to a footswitch or an
Assignable Switch, to program a custom scale in realtime, for
example to allow for those sudden scale changes typical of the
Arabic music. These changes are not saved anywhere, so the
scale is easily “wiped-out” when selecting a different Perfor-
mance or STS, or when pressing the Quarter Tone pedal again.
Note:
While in Style Play mode, you can create a custom scale, to
be assigned to a Performance or STS, simply by selecting and edit-
ing a User scale, and saving any change to a Performance or STS.
See “How to create a custom scale by fine-tuning each note of the
User scale” above.
While in Global mode, you can create a custom scale and save it to
one of the four SC Presets, and recall it by touching one of the SC
Preset buttons in the display. Then, you can start your realtime
scale editing from the selected preset. See “How to use the Quarter
Tone function with the SC Presets” above.
1.
Program the footswitch or an Assignable Switch to be the
Quarter Tone switch.
Simply go to the Global mode, and reach the “Controllers:
Foot Controllers” page. There, you will find the “Pedal/
Footswitch” parameter, to which you can assign the Quar-
ter Tone function.
2.
Lower some note pitches.
Keep the Quarter Tone pedal pressed. The keyboard will
not play at this time. Press the notes you want to lower a
quarter tone. Release the pedal.
3.
Play with your new scale.
Notes you pressed on step 2 are now lowered of a quarter
tone.
4.
Reset the original scale.
Press and release the Quarter Tone pedal again, without
playing any note. All pitches will be reset, and the scale
selected by the Performance or STS will be recalled.
Effects: A/B FX Configuration
This page allows you to select the A (Style and Pads) and B (Key-
board) groups of effects. Please use the “FX A” and “FX B” side
tabs to switch from one group to the other one.
FX Groups (FX A, FX B)
Pa600 includes two groups of effects (FX A and FX B). There are
two master FXs for group. In Style Play mode, the A group is
reserved to the Style and Pad tracks, the B group to the Realtime
(Keyboard) tracks.
Master FX 1, 2
Effects assigned to the corresponding effect processors. Usually,
FX1 are reverbs, while FX2 are modulating effects (chorus,
flanger, delay…). For a list of the available effects, see in the
Appendix.
Effects assigned to both FX groups can be saved to a Perfor-
mance. Effect assigned to the FX A group (Style and Pad tracks)
can be saved to the Style Settings. Effects assigned to the FX B
group (Keyboard tracks) can be saved to an STS.
W/D
Use this parameter to set the amount of the effect (Wet) against
the non-effected (Dry) signal coming from the track.
MFX2 to MFX1
Amount of the MFX2 effect going back to the input of the MFX1
effect.
M.T. (Modulating Track)
Source track for modulating MIDI messages. You can modulate
an effect parameter with a MIDI message generated by an inter-
nal physical controller.
