I'm not sure if I have done some change in settings or if this is something that a better OS can fix...?

Wen playing with a midi song running and I use, lets say STS 1, and there use Upper 3 and mute on the other two. If I then change to STS 2, and that starts with Upper 1 (with the other two muted) and now want to change to another sound going into Sound side, nothing happens and I'm "locked" with that sound. The reason for this is that the Upper 3 gets highlighted in the new STS but is muted ( in this example) and I'm playing the Upper 1 instrument.

The logic thing would be that it should highlight the upper 1, 2 or 3 that I'm playing and not the one I used in the previous STS..

I hope I managed to explain this so it makes sence...

Is this a result of some change I have done in the settings or is this another not so logic thing in the Pa600?

Regards
Jacob

Jacob... I am not CERTAIN I know what your problem is, but here is what I have done:
I have a midi file on my USB drive that I want to play over with certain 'sounds'... I first set the Style with the sounds that I want in each STS ... the sounds can be different for each of the 4 STS ... I try to think of all the possible sounds I might want to use over the midi file and generally try to 'group' them in each STS - for example different pianos/organs in STS 1, guitars in STS 2, horns in STS 3, Strings in STS 4 ... Of course this will vary depending on what sounds I think are good for the particular midi file ... I also try to keep what I think will be the 'main' sound for each STS in Upper 1 and mute the other two ... I then go to the midi file on the USB and 'select' it ... I then go to 'Songbook' Book Edit 1, press 'New Song' and make sure 'Write' and 'All Current STS' are marked ... I then 'WRITE' the song to the Songbook ... When I call up the song from the 'Songbook' the style (which of course will not play while the midi file is playing) and sounds I previously chose are there ... I can then pick any sounds from any STS to play over the midi file ... and when I go from STS1 to STS 2, Upper 1 will always play, but I have the option of muting it and playing one of the other sounds in that STS ...
I can also go to 'SOUNDS' and change any sound in the STS as the midi file is playing ...

I hope this helps ...

Well it's very nice of you to deskibe how you do it but Im talking about something stupid in what I think is the OS and not a setting...

Play a midi song. Take STS 1 where you have 3 instruments "Upper 1,2 and 3". Pick "Upper 3" to play with and let "Upper 1 and 2 " be on mute (as in no sound). Tap on the "Upper 3" instrument and change it to another sound. In this screen the "Upper 3" instrument is now highlited.

Now go to STS 2. If the "Upper 1" automatic is what you play with and you now directly go to Sound menu and try to take a new sound, nothing will happen. The reason for this is that the "Upper 3", now in STS 2, gets highlited as it was in STS 1 and not the sound you are now playing in STS 2.

Do you understand me this time?

Hi,

It was Tony who said he didn't understand so I tried to explain that to him. If you understand it or not, was not the issu here or the reason I explained it one more time....

This "problem" is something I have when using styles as well, but it still can be a problem for me and not for so many others as you wrote...

I have been playing with this keyboard for about a week now. Best I can tell there are two things I'd like to be able to do that I can't.

1. I'd like to be able to turn manual bass on without turning the arranger off. I dont' see why these are in conflict with each other. there is far more to teh arranger than the bass.

2. I'd like to be able to split the keyboard as far as sounds, and still have the instrument read the entire keyboard as far as reading chords.

Like pipuzzo, I don't feel it is a problem, but it would be a problem, if played sounds are highlighted instead the individual selected, as jac38 wish with another OS.

In this matter the OS is fine. Thats because i want to prepare and change a sound of an inactive realtimetrack like Upper3, while i am only playing Upper1. So i can select sound on Upper3 without interrupting playing sound on Upper1.

For me that kind of changing sounds of realtimetracks is ok and i do not want another OS in this matter.
