Selecting and playing a Style
Pa3XLe is an arranger , i.e. a musical instrument providing automatic accompaniments, or arrange-
ments . Each arrangement style is called, as a consequence, a Style .
A Style is made of several Style Elements (Intro, Variation, Fill, Break, Ending), corresponding to the
various sections of a song. By selecting Style Elements, you can make your playing more varied and
musical.
When selecting a Style, Sounds, Effects and various configuration parameters for the Style tracks are
also selected. These are called the Style Settings. Four STSs are assigned to the STS buttons. Selecting
a Style also selects the four Pads it contains. Pads are single sounds or single-track patterns, that can
be triggered with the dedicated PAD buttons.
If the STS MODE LED is turned on, the first of the four Single Touch Settings (STS) associated to the
Style is also selected, and Keyboard tracks, Effects and some other useful parameters are automatically
configured.
Use the Style controls to start or stop the Style.
