Auto Power Off

Pa300 can automatically enter standby after two hours of being
unused, to save power and help preserving the environment.

On

When this parameter is checked, a few minutes before automatic
standby a message will warn you that the instrument is going to
be put in standby. All unsaved data currently in editing or
recording will be lost.

At this message, you can let the instrument enter standby, or you
can touch the display, press any button on the display, or play the
keyboard to leave it turned on and continue using it.

Mode Preferences: Style

In this page you can set various general parameters for the Style
Play mode.

Split Point

Use this parameter to select the global split point. This point is
independent of any Performance or STS.

See “Split panel” on page 94 for more information.

Chord Recognition

This parameter allows you to choose how chords are recognized
by the auto-accompaniment engine.

When switching to Full Keyboard mode (SPLIT LED turned off)
the Chord Recognition mode is automatically set as in the fol-
lowing table:

One Finger

You can compose a chord using a simplified
chord playing technique:

• Play a single note for a Major chord to be recog-
nized.

• Play the root note, plus a white key on the left,
for a 7th. For example, play C3 + B2 for a C7.

• Play the root note, plus a black key on the left,
for a Minor chord. For example, play C3 + Bb2
for a C minor.

• Play the root note, plus a white and a black key
on the left, for a Minor 7th. For example, play C3
+ B2 + Bb2 for a C min 7.

Fingered

When in Split mode, play one or more notes to
compose a chord. A full Major chord will be rec-
ognized when a single note is played.

When in Full Keyboard mode, play at least three
notes to compose a chord.

Expert

When in Split mode, play two or more notes for a
chord to be recognized. When in Full Keyboard
