Change (CC) 32 message (a.k.a. Bank Select LSB)
for the selected Sound.

Values are in the standard 0-127 MIDI number-
ing format.
Note: Some manufacturers could use the 1-128
numbering system; when connecting your Pa900 to
an instrument of this kind, increment the PC value
by 1 unit.
Octave Transpose icon
Octave transpose value. Use the UPPER OCTAVE buttons to
change this value.
Realtime Controls area
Controls in this area allow you to edit the main parameters of the
Sounds assigned to each track. Touch one of them, and modify
its value by using the VALUE DIAL controls (or moving your
finger).
Note: All values refer to the original values of the Sound.
Note: When selecting the Write Sound command from the page
menu, current parameter values, after editing the Realtime Con-
trols, are saved with the Sound. After saving, Realtime Controls are
set back to the default position.
Note: After selecting a different Sound, Realtime Control values
are automatically set to zero.
Attack Attack time. This is the time during which the
sound goes from zero (at the moment when you
strike a key) to it’s maximum level.
Decay Decay time. Time to go from the final Attack level
to the beginning of the Sustain.
Release Release time. This is the time during which the
sound goes from the sustaining phase, to zero.
The Release is triggered by releasing a key.
Cutoff Filter cutoff. This sets the sound brightness.
LFO Depth Intensity of the Vibrato (LFO).
LFO Speed Speed of the Vibrato (LFO).
LFO Delay Delay time before the Vibrato (LFO) begins, after
the sound starts.
Resonance Use the Filter Resonance to boost the cutoff fre-
quency.
Voice Assign Mode
Poly
The Sound will play polyphonically, allowing you play chords.
Mono
The Sound will play monophonically, producing only one note at
a time.
Legato
This parameter is available when the Mono option is selected.
Note: If “Legato” is On, certain multisamples or keyboard locations
may produce an incorrect pitch.
On Legato is on. When multiple note-on’s occur, the
first note-on will retrigger the sound, and the sec-
ond and subsequent note-on’s will not retrigger.
When legato is on, multiple note-on’s will not
retrigger the voice. If one note is already on and
another note is turned on, the first voice will con-
tinue sounding. The oscillator sound, envelope,
and LFO will not be reset, and only the pitch of
the oscillator will be updated. This setting is
effective for wind instrument sounds and analog
synth-type sounds.
Off Legato is off. Notes will always be retriggered
when note-on occurs.
When legato is off, multiple note-on’s will retrigger
the voice at each note-on. The oscillator sound,
envelope, and LFO will be reset (and retriggered)
according to the settings of the Sound.
Hold
Use this parameter to keep the notes sustained even after releas-
ing the keys.
Note: Please remember the Hold must be On before playing the
note to be held.

are available.

responding effect.
Amount
Volume of the effect that is added to the dry (non-effected) sig-
nal.
