[H.I.M]

I have a sing I wrote and I want the PA4x to play drums along with me
Is that possible?
I have saved it as a midi file
Thanks!

Absolutely!!!
Select the MIDI file in the player (1 or 2) in SONG PLAY mode and press the respective play button

You can also have the aranger play drums along with your live playing, just mute the bass and arranger tracks.

If you created a MIDI for the drum track, this should play perfectly as long as you have the MIDI channel as 10 and a drum kit selected in the MIDI.

Alternatively, without the MIDI, you can use a style (drums only) and have full keyboard (no split) to play the instrument you want (e.g. piano)

Did you play your piano part to a click?

If not, then no, the style section cannot have drums follow a ‘freely’ played track.

You can get around this with a DAW by tapping in a tempo track while your piano part plays, then use the taps to create a tempo track that follows the loosely played piano part (import the corrected SMF from the daw back to the arranger). However, I’m not sure if you can force the style section to follow a varying tempo track. Anyone?

If you can, then yes, the drummer will follow the piano track.
