Track Controls > Mode
This page lets you connect each track to the internal sound gen-
erator and to external MIDI devices. This is very useful to let a
Style track drive an external expander, or play a digital piano
with one of Pa3XLe’s Keyboard tracks. In addition, here you can
set the polyphony mode and track type for each track.
Int./Ext. (Internal/External)
Internal The track plays the sounds generated by the
internal sound engine. It does not play an exter-
nal instrument connected to the MIDI OUT.
External The track plays an external instrument connected
to the MIDI OUT. The connected device must
receive on the MIDI channel associated with this
track on the Pa3XLe (see “MIDI > MIDI Out
Channels” on page 267).
A track set to this status cannot play the internal
sounds.
Instead of the assigned Sound name, the
<E: aaa.bbb.ccc> indicator is shown on a track’s
area in the Main page:
This indicator begins with a remark saying the
track is in External (”E”) mode, and continues
with a strings of transmitted Control Change and
Program Change data. This will let you know
what the track is transmitting to the MIDI OUT.
In the following example,
CC#0 is the Control
Change 0 (Bank Select MSB), CC#32 is the Con-
trol Change 32 (Bank Select LSB), PC is the Pro-
gram Change:
When touching the Sound area, the numeric key-
pad appears, instead of the Sound Select window.
You can enter the Control Change/Program
Change bundle shown above, separating the three
parts with a dot (.).
Both The track plays both the internal sounds and an
external instrument connected to the MIDI OUT.
Type
Drum Drum/Percussion track. Set a track to Drum
mode if you wish to separately adjust the volume
and set a different output for each percussive
family of the assigned Drum Kit Sound. (See
“Track Controls > Drum Edit” on page 125).
Note:
Tracks set to Drum or Percussion mode while
in Style Record (see “Track Type” on page 160) can-
not be edited here. This option appears in grey.
Other Style tracks cannot be set to Drum mode
here.
Note: Drum Kits are not affected by transpose
whichever the type of track they are assigned to.
Hint: Set a Keyboard track to Drum mode, if you
don’t want the assigned Sound to be transposed (it
will behave as a Drum Kit).
Poly Tracks of this kind are polyphonic, i.e. they can
play more than one note at the same time.
Mono Tracks of this kind are monophonic, i.e. each new
note stops the previous note.
Mono Right A Mono track, but with priority assigned to the
rightmost (highest) note.
Mono Left A Mono track, but with priority assigned to the
leftmost (lowest) note.
