Mixer/Tuning: Tuning
This page is where you can set the octave transpose and fine tun-
ing for each track. Plus, you can program the Pitch Bend range
for each track.
Use the TRACK SELECT button to switch from the Keyboard to
the Style tracks, and vice-versa.

These parameters show the Pitch Bend range for each track, in

Mixer/Tuning: Sub Scale
You can assign a different scale (a sub-scale) to the Keyboard
tracks, the Upper tracks or all tracks. This will allow, for exam-
ple, to play a solo with a particular Quarter Tone tuning, while
the backing tracks play in the Equal tuning.
This page is where you can program the sub-scale for the
selected tracks; a different sub-scale can be associated to each
Performance or STS. Track selection is general, and can be done
with the “Scale Mode” parameter of the Global > Mode Prefer-
ences > Style page (see page 153).
The remaining tracks will use the basic scale set in the Global
> Tuning > Scale page (see “Main Scale” on page 157). This is
the “standard” scale of the instrument.

Note: Quarter Tone selection can be received via USB as MIDI-
data (i.e., from an external sequencer or controller). Conversely,
selection of Quarter Tone settings can be sent by the Pa300 to an
external MIDI recorder as System Exclusive data.
Scale
Selected scale. See “Scales” on page 355 for a list of the available
scales. When selecting the User scale, the keyboard diagram
becomes active, letting you program a custom scale (see “How to
create a custom scale by fine-tuning each note of the User scale”
below).
Key
This parameter is needed by some scales to set the preferred
key (see “Scales” on page 355).
