Overview

Front Panel

Introd

uction

You don’t need to press START/STOP or PLAY/STOP to start or
stop the Style or Song.

Note:

This does not work in Sequencer mode.

You can jump to the Global > Basic page by keeping

SHIFT pressed and pressing the FADE IN/OUT button.

TAP TEMPO/RESET

This is a double-function button, acting in a different way
depending on whether the Style is running or not.

Note:

This button only works while in Style Play mode.

Tap Tempo:

When the Style is not playing, you can “beat” the

tempo on this button. Tap as many times as the Time Signature’s
numerator (for example, four times with a 4/4 Time Signature, or
three times with a 3/4 one). At the end, the accompaniment
starts playing, using the “tapped in” tempo.

Reset:

If you press this button while the Style is playing back, the

Style pattern goes back to the beginning of measure 1.

START/STOP

Starts or stops the Style.

Note:

This function can be automatically activated by playing the

keyboard harder, by setting the “Velocity Control” parameter (in
the Global > Mode Preferences > Style Play page).

You can reset all ‘frozen’ notes and controllers on the

Pa600 and any instrument connected to its MIDI OUT or the USB
Device port, by using the

“Panic” (SHIFT + START/STOP)

key

combination. Just press SHIFT + START/STOP to stop all notes
and reset all controllers.

SYNCHRO START / STOP button

These buttons turn the Synchro Start and Synchro Stop func-
tions on or off. With this feature, you can choose to press the
START/STOP button to start and/or stop a Style, or just play the
keyboard in the Chord Scan area.

Start On, Stop Off

In this situation, just play a chord in the chord
recognition area to automatically start the Style. If
you like, turn one of the INTROs on before start-
ing the Style.

Start On, Stop On

When both LEDs are lit, raising your hands from
the keyboard will momentarily stop the Style. If
you play a chord again, the Style will start again.

Start Off, Stop On

In this case, raising your hands from the keyboard
will stop the Style.

Start Off, Stop Off

All Synchro functions are turned off.

You can jump to the Global > MIDI > Setup/General Con-

trol by keeping the SHIFT button pressed and pressing the SYN-
CHRO START/STOP button.
