Some Pa4X new untold features

Post by AntonySharmman »

- Toggle & Booking mode in switches 1-3 :
There was a reference topic about SW1-3 mode and finally found some time to investigate this.
I can confirm that for first time in PaSeries switches 1-3 can operate in 2 modes in Sound mode according to user needs.
While in Sound mode press menu/Basic/Sound/Sound Controller Mode /SC1 or SC2 click on "Booking" tab and change
it to Toggle or Booking.
All OSC AMS that are sent to SW1/2 controller will follow this mode.
Every sound can preserve switches mode Toggle or Booking in a Keyboard Set.

- After OS v.1.21 , you can use up to 4 insert effects in style tracks (FX1 or 2) plus 3 master effect (FXA) ,
totally 7 different effects per style !

Another "untold feature":

"phasey" sonic issue , that a user had complained about a month ago ... finally he was right !!!
:P

I think korg should fix all the problems first, then introduce new features.

- "Triton lover" , I'm always fair when I notice that someone was right , but this won't change for commonly known reasons !

- Δημήτριε , I never read manuals and just expected such a great feature to be introduced by KorgPa ,
I think that we have to explore Pa4X deeper !

If I understood right, now SC keys 1-3 can be set to work like on Triton series? Not just as DNC switch for sounds but for ON/OFF switches for certain sound parameters (FX ,AMS etc... ?)

The function remains the same (Alternative Modulation Source) that can be assigned in every OSC property like Amp/EG/Filters/DNC
and can be enabled in 2 modes Toggle or Booking indivindually for every OSC and not just as a global switch on/off of a sound that
already exists for each sound in KBS (it can be used in any way with OSC programming though !)
Actually this is a feature for sound developers or advanced users (KorgPa sound developers rarely use it) and I feel very happy that exists !
