Selecting and playing a Style

Quick Guide

Pa300 is an

arranger

, i.e. a musical instrument providing automatic accompaniments, or

arrange-

ments

. Each arrangement style is called, as a consequence, a

Style

.

A Style is made of several Style Elements (Intro, Variation, Fill, Break, Ending), corresponding to the
various sections of a song. By selecting Style Elements, you can make your playing more varied and
musical.

When selecting a Style, Sounds, Effects and various configuration parameters for the Style tracks are
also selected. These are called the Style Settings. Four STSs are assigned to the STS buttons. Selecting
a Style also selects the four Pads it contains. Pads are single sounds or single-track patterns, that can
be triggered with the dedicated PAD buttons.

Use the Style controls to start or stop the Style.
