Connecting the AC power cord
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the supplied power cord
to the dedicated socket on the
rear of the instrument. Then,
plug it into a wall socket. You
don’t need to worry about the
local voltage, since the Pa1X uses
a universal power adapter.
Turning the instrument on and off
•
Press the POWER switch on the rear panel to turn the
instrument on. The display will light up, showing the boot
procedure.
Note:
When turning the instrument on, RAM PCM Samples
used by some User Sounds may be automatically loaded,
depending on the status of the “PCM Autoload” parameter
(see page 273). This may take some time for loading.
•
Press again the POWER switch on the rear panel to turn the
instrument off.
Warning:
When turning the instrument off, all data con-
tained in RAM (Song recorded or edited in Sequencer mode,
Samples in edit and not yet saved) will be lost. MIDI Grooves
generated by the Time Slice function will be lost, too.
On the contrary, data contained in the SSD memory (Factory
data, User Sounds, Performances, Styles and Multisamples)
will be preserved. Samples will be preserved, too.
Controlling the Volume (Master&Acc/Seq)
•
Use the MASTER VOLUME slider to
control the overall volume of the
instrument. This slider controls the
volume of the sound going to the
internal speakers (Pa1X only), the
main (LEFT/MONO & RIGHT )
OUTPUTs, and the HEADPHONES
connector.
The 1 & 2 OUTPUT connectors are
not affected by this slider. So, use the mixer’s or speaker’s
level controls to adjust the volume.
Note:
Begin with a moderate level, then raise the MASTER
VOLUME up. Don’t keep the volume at an uncomfortable
level for too long.
•
Use the ACC/SEQ VOLUME slider to control the volume of
Style tracks (drums, percussions, bass…). This slider also
controls both Sequencers tracks, leaving Keyboard tracks
untouched.
The BALANCE slider
The BALANCE slider sets the relative volume of the two
onboard sequencers (Sequencer1 and Sequencer 2).
•
Move it fully left to set Sequencer 1 to the maximum level
and Sequencer 2 to zero.
•
Move it fully right to set Sequencer 1 to zero and Sequencer
2 to the maximum level.
•
Move it to the center to set both Sequencer at the same
level.
Note:
When turning the instrument on, move this slider to the cen-
ter, to avoid starting a Song at the minimum level.
Headphones
Connect a pair of headphones to the HEADPHONES output,
under the left part of the keyboard (just under the joystick). You
can use headphones with an impedance of 16-200
Ω
(50
Ω
sug-
gested). Use a headphone amplification distributor to connect
more than one pair of headphones.
Audio Outputs
Audio outputs allows you to connect the Pa1X to an external
amplification system. Apart for headphones, this is the only way
to listen to the sound of the Pa1X Pro, since it is not fitted with
internal speakers.
Stereo.
Connect two mono cables to the main (LEFT/MONO,
RIGHT) OUTPUTs. Connect the other end of the cables to a ste-
reo channel of your mixer, two mono channels, two powered
monitors, or the TAPE/AUX input of your audio system. Don’t
use the PHONO inputs of your audio system!
Mono.
Connect a mono cable to the LEFT/MONO OUTPUT.
Connect the other end of the cable to a mono channel of your
mixer, a powered monitor, or a channel of your TAPE/AUX
input of a hi-fi system (you will hear that channel only, unless
you can set the amplifier to Mono mode).
Separate outputs.
You can connect your Pa1X to four channels
of a mixer. This is very useful when recording, or if you want to
send a sequencer’s or backing track to a separate channel. For
example, by using the separate outputs, you may send the Drum
or Bass track to an external compressor or reverb unit, or mix
the separate tracks on an external mixer.
Connect four mono cables to each of the main (LEFT/MONO,
RIGHT) and 1, 2 OUTPUTs. To feed the sub-outputs (1, 2) you
must program the track(s) you wish to send them (see the
“Audio Output” section in the Global, starting from page 239).
