Selected Player
By pressing the LYRICS button, you can see lyrics in Style Play
mode, lyrics and chord abbreviations in Song Play mode. The
SCORE button will let you see a traditional score in the Song
Play mode. Pressing both MARKER buttons will give you access
to the markers in the Song Play mode.
Selected Player
You can always use the Player 1 and Player 2 buttons in the top
right corner of the display to select a Player whose Song to show.
Player 1 is orange, while Player 2 is blue.
When moving the X-FADER, the shown score may change.
When the X-FADER is fully moved to the left, the score for
Player 1 is shown; when the X-FADER is fully moved to the
right, the score for Player 2 is shown instead.
Note: You can have Player 2 selected in the Main page of the Song
Play mode, and Player 1 selected in the Lyrics page, or vice-versa.
This way, you can select a Song whose lyrics, score or markers to
display on the external video monitor, while selecting a different
player for editing operations.
Lyrics page
Open the Lyrics page by pressing the LYRICS button. This page
shows the lyrics in Style Play mode, lyrics and chord abbrevia-
tions in the Song Play mode.
Viewing lyrics and chords with Songs
You can see the following types of lyrics and chords:
• Lyrics contained in a Standard MIDI File or Karaoke™ file
as Lyrics events, or in an MP3 file with Lyrics (in ID3 for-
mat – see
www.id3.org ).
• Lyrics contained in a “.CDG” file, loaded with an MP3 file
with the same name. When a “.CDG” file exists in the same
directory as an MP3 file, and shares exactly the same name,
it will be loaded with the “MP3” file.
• Lyrics contained in a “.TXT” file, loaded with a Standard
MIDI File, Karaoke or MP3 file with the same name. When
a “.TXT” file exists in the same directory as a Standard
MIDI File or MP3 file, and shares exactly the same name, it
is loaded with the “.MID” or “MP3” file (see “Text files
loaded with Standard MIDI Files and MP3 files” on
page 312).
• Lyrics contained in a “.TXT” file linked to the latest-
selected SongBook Entry (see “Linked .TXT” on page 307).
• When no lyrics data is contained in the Song, or linked to a
SongBook Entry, you can see lyrics contained in a “.TXT”
file loaded at any time after selecting a Song (see “On-the-
fly TXT loading” below).
This is the priority of lyrics data shown in the display:
a) CDG file contained in the same folder as the MP3 file, over-
riding…
b) TXT file linked to a SongBook Entry, overriding…
c) TXT file contained in the same folder as the Standard
MIDI File or MP3 file, recalled by a SongBook Entry,
over-
riding…
d) Lyrics events contained in the Standard MIDI File or MP3 file.
Hint: If you do not want to see the TXT file or the CDG file, and
prefer to see the Lyrics data, rename or delete the TXT or CDG file,
or move it to a different folder.
Viewing lyrics with the Styles
Lyrics can be associated to a Style as a “.TXT” file. When in this
page, you can see:
• Lyrics contained in a “.TXT” file linked to the latest-selected
Style-based SongBook Entry (see “Linked .TXT” on page 307).
• Lyrics contained in a “.TXT” file loaded after selecting a Style
(see “On-the-fly TXT loading” below).
The Lyrics page in detail
Lyrics will be shown only if they are compatible with a standard
format that Pa3XLe can understand.
While the Song is playing, Lyrics contained in a Standard MIDI
File or MP3 file scroll in the display. Chord abbreviations (if any)
will appear above the lyrics, in time with the music (depending
on the status of the “Chord” button). Lyrics at the current posi-
tion are highlighted.
If the text has been loaded as a “.TXT’ file, it will not scroll auto-
matically while the Song is playing back. You must scroll it with
the VALUE DIAL or the vertical scrollbar. As an alternative, you
can use an assignable switch or footswitch, with the Text Page
Up or Text Page Down functions assigned, to scroll (respec-
tively) to the previous or next text page.
