1 4. PRO G RAM OPERATIN G MODE
The Program operating mode is where you can listen to
individual Programs, and edit them.
To select a Program, see the “Basic operations” chapter.
In this mode, the selected Program can always be played
across the full keyboard range.
To automatically select the Program to be assigned to the
last selected track, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and
press the PROGRAM button.
Hint: This is useful to see the Bank Select/Program Change
numbers when programming a Song on an external sequencer.
Note: The Program uses the same Scale of the latest selected Per-
formance or STS.
MAIN PA G E
Here is the main page of the Program operating mode.
Program icon
When turned on, this icon shows that the instrument is in
Program mode.
Page header
This line shows the selected Program name. Use the TEMPO/
VALUE controls, or the PROGRAM/PERFORMANCE sec-
tion to select a Program. (See “Selecting a Program” on
page 6-3 for more information).
Tempo
This is the tempo of Sequencer 1. The Tempo is one of the
AMSs (see “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list” on
page 14-19). Use the SHIFT + DIAL combination to change
it.
A ( G roup)
This non-editable parameter shows which group the Pro-
gram is included into. A group is the equivalent of a PRO-
GRAM/PERFORMANCE button.
B (CC00)
This non-editable parameter shows the value of the Control
Change (CC) 00 message (or Bank Select MSB) for the
selected Program.
C (CC32)
This non-editable parameter shows the value of the Control
Change (CC) 32 message (a.k.a. Bank Select LSB) for the
selected Program.
D (PC)
This non-editable parameter shows the value of the Program
Change (PC) message for the selected Program. Values are in
the standard 0-127 MIDI numbering format.
Note: Some manufacturers could use the 1-128 numbering sys-
tem; when connecting your Pa80 to an instrument of this kind,
increment the PC value by 1 unit.
Effects
In Program mode, the Program uses its own effects instead of
relying on A-D effects. Two effect processors (FX1 and FX2)
are available.
The MIDI channel
In Program mode, Pa80 receives and transmits on the same
channel of the Upper 1 track. If the Global channel is
assigned, notes can be received also on this channel. See
“Page 7 - MIDI IN Channels” on page 16-4 and “Page 11 -
MIDI OUT Channels” on page 16-5 for more information.
DI G ITAL DRAWBAR S PA G E
DIGITAL DRAWBARS are different from normal Programs.
Note: In Style Play and Backing Sequence mode, only a Digital
Drawbar Program is available for the Realtime tracks, and one
for the Style tracks. Save them into a Performance (see “The
Write window” on page 9-4).
Note: In Song Play mode, there is a Digital Drawbars Program
for the Realtime tracks, one for Song tracks 1-8, another one for
Song tracks 9-16.
Note: In Song mode there is a Digital Drawbars Program for
Song tracks 1-8, one for Song tracks 9-16.
When you select the DIGITAL DRAWBARS bank, the Digital
Drawbar page appears, and the current setting is assigned to
the selected track.
Use the VOLUME/VALUE (A-H) buttons to change each foot
volume. Each foot refers to the pipe length in a pipe organ, in
which the sound is produced by pipes of different length.
Longer pipes mean a lower sound; therefore, the 16’ drawbar
produces the lowest pitched sound, while the 1’ drawbar pro-
duces the highest pitched sound.
