Style Play & Song Play Modes

Global Split Point only editable in Global mode [1.1]

To make things easier, the global Split Point can only be edited in the Global > Mode Preferences > Style page.

SongBook

Book Edit pages slightly modified [1.1]

All Book Edit pages have been slightly reorganized. All functions remain the same.

Init SongBook command added [1.1]

A new, blank Book list can now be created with a single com­mand (available from the page menu).

Single “local” Split Point saved with Styles and SongBook Entries [1.1]

To make things easier, only a single “local” Split Point can be saved with each Style or SongBook Entry. No separate Split Point can be saved for each STS.

Loading Factory Styles and Pads [1.1]

If the “Factory Style and Pad Protect” parameter is not checked in Global > Mode Preferences > Media, when loading data to the internal memory you can also choose Factory Style and Factory Pad locations as a target.
When loading single Styles or Pads (or a bank of Styles or Pads), open the target banks until you find the desired locations; Fac­tory locations will be treated exactly as if they were Favorite/User locations.

Factory Restore and Resource Restore of selected data types [1.1]

Now, you can choose the type of data to be restored to the origi­nal Factory status or from a Backup archive.
After having executed the Factory Restore or Resource Restore command from the Media > Utility page, a dialog box will appear, with a list of types of data to be restored. Only check the types of data you want to restore.
You can choose individual types of data by touching “All” to deselect it, and select the individual types:
If the “Factory Style and Pad Protect” parameter is not checked in Global > Mode Preferences > Media, when saving data from the internal memory you can also choose Factory Style and Fac­tory Pad data.
When saving single Styles or Pads (or a bank of Styles or Pads), open the source folders until you find the desired item; Factory data will be treated exactly as if they were Favorite/User data.
When saving all the memory content, you can choose to also save Factory Styles and Pads. After you have selected the full content (“All”) of the internal memory, and have confirmed a new or existing “.SET” folder into which to save your data, you are asked to choose the type of data you want to save:
Save All dialog with the Factory Style and
Pad Protect option turned on
War n in g : This command will delete from the internal memory all the types of data selected in this dialog box (including your custom data).
When done, a message will appear, asking to restart the instru­ment (“Data Restored. Please switch off”). Set the instrument to standby mode, then turn it on again.

New Backup file format [1.1]

The file format for the backup archive created when choosing the “Backup Resources” command from the Media > Utility page is new. Therefore, you cannot load backup archives created with this OS version to Pa600 models still using an OS older than ver­sion 1.1.

Renamed Resource Restore command [1.1]

Save All dialog with the Factory Style and
Pad Protect option turned off
After confirming, the Factory Styles and Pads are saved into the “.S E T” f ol de r.
The “Full Resource Restore” command in the Media > Utility page has been renamed to “Resource Restore”.

Si vous effectuez la mise à jour du système d’exploitation à partir d’une version antérieure à la version 1.1, il faut aussi mettre à jour les ressources musicales en vous servant de la commande “Media > Utility > Factory Restore”. Bien que les ressources musicales soient chargées en même temps que le système d’exploitation, il faut les mettre à jour avec cette commande.
Avertissement: Avant de mettre à jour les ressources musi­cales, sauvegardez toutes vos données sur un support externe pour éviter de les perdre. Les ressources musicales sauvegardées
en interne peuvent être archivées avec “Media > Save”.
Astuce: Au terme de la mise à jour, vous devrez probablement recalibrer l’écran “TouchView” (Global > Touch Panel Calibration) et la pédale/le commutateur au pied (Global > Controllers > Pedal/Switch).
