Playing another instrument with Pa600
You can use Pa600 as the master controller for your MIDI setup.
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of Pa600 to the other
instrument’s MIDI IN.
2. Set the other instrument to the same channels you want to
play from Pa600. For example, if you wish to play the
Upper 1 and Upper 2 tracks with sounds of the other
instrument, enable the other instrument to receive on the
same channels Pa600 is transmitting from the Upper 1 and
Upper 2 tracks (by default, channels 1 and 2).
3. Set the master volume of the other instrument with its own
volume controls.
4. Mute/unmute any track right from the Pa600. Adjust each
track’s volume by using the Pa600 (sliders on the display).
5. Play the keyboard of Pa600.
The Keyboard
The keyboard of Pa600 can drive up to four tracks via the MIDI
OUT (Upper 1-3 and Lower). MIDI output channels are set in
Global mode (see “MIDI: MIDI Out Channels” on page 151).
As per the default situation (“1-Default” MIDI Preset), each of
Pa600 Keyboard tracks transmit on the following channels:
When a track is muted, it cannot transmit any MIDI data to an
external expander or sequencer connected to the MIDI OUT of
Pa600.
To only hear the expander’s sounds, you can lower the MASTER
VOLUME control on the Pa600, or set the Keyboard tracks to
the External status (see “Track Controls: Mode” on page 99).
The Player
Any Player’s track can drive a channel on an external instru-
ment. To set each track’s MIDI output channel, see “MIDI: MIDI
Out Channels” on page 151.
To only hear the expander’s sounds, you can lower the MASTER
VOLUME control on the Pa600, or set the Song tracks to the
External status (see “Track Controls: Mode” on page 99).
Select the “Player” MIDI Preset to set the channels as follows:
The Arranger
One of the most interesting aspect of MIDI, is that you can use
your Pa600 to play an external instrument with its onboard
arranger. Yes, it’s hard to beat the audio quality of Pa600, but you
could wish to use that old faithful synth you are still accustomed
to…
To assign some of the Style tracks of Pa600 to an external instru-
ment, set them to the External status (see “Track Controls:
Mode” on page 99).
Select the “Default” MIDI Preset to set the channels as follows
(this is the default status of Pa600):
