AUDIO IN LED
This LED shows the level of the audio signal entering the
AUDIO IN connectors (either mic or line). Three different col-
ors (green, orange, red) show the level. Try to keep the level so
that this LED remains on green most of the time, with orange
appearing at signal peaks. Never go to red.
Off: No signal entering.
Green: Low- to mid-level signal entering. If the LED
turns off too often, the input gain is too low.
When a microphone is connected to the LEFT
connector, use the MIC GAIN control to increase
the input level. When a line-level device is con-
nected, use the source device’s own volume con-
trol.
Orange: Slight overload in the signal path. This is fine if it
turns on only on signal peaks.
Red: Clipping is occurring in the signal path. Use the
MIC GAIN control and/or the source device’s
volume control to lower the input level.
See “AUDIO IN Section” on page 20 for more
information on the AUDIO IN connectors.
MIC VOLUME
Use this knob to set the overall volume of the microphone signal
(including the Voice Processor effects). This is equivalent to the
MIC/IN track you can see in the Volume pane of the main dis-
play.
FX LEVEL
Use this knob to set the volume of the Delay and Reverb sections
of the Voice Processor.
MIC
Press this button to turn the microphone input on or off. The
LED shows the status of the microphone section.
If you keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press this but-
tons, the Global > Mic > Global Setup page will appear (see
“Mic: Global Setup” on page 454).
HARMONY
Turns the Voice Harmony effect on or off. This adds harmoniza-
tion voices to the lead voice.
If you keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press this but-
ton, the Global > Mic > Harmony page will appear (see “Mic:
Harmony” on page 450).
PRESET
Use this button to open the Voice Processor Preset Select win-
dow and select a Preset to be assigned to the microphone signal
entering the LEFT input. This is the same as touching a Preset
name in the display.
For each type of Preset there are several Preset banks, that can be
selected by touching the side tabs. Each Preset bank may contain
up to eight Presets.
By keeping this button pressed for about one second, the
“Write Voice Processor Preset” dialog box will appear.
Standby On/Off
STANDBY ( )
Use this button to let the instrument exit (LED
off) or enter (LED on) standby.
Press it briefly to let the instrument exit standby. In case there
are User Sounds based on User PCM Samples, loading may take
some time.
Keep it pressed for about one second to let it enter standby.
Warning: When the instrument is on standby mode, it is still con-
nected to the power line. Accessing the inside of the instrument can
be dangerous. To completely disconnect the instrument from the
power, unplug the power plug from the power socket on the wall.
Note: To avoid wasting power, Pa3XLe will by default automati-
cally enter standby mode after two hours of non-active use (play-
ing, pressing buttons or using the touch-screen). Please save your
data (Performances, Styles, Songs, and so on) before taking a pro-
longed pause. You can change the auto power-off timer in Global >
General Controls > Clock & Power.
