Just a quick note on a possible quirk in the operation of Pa4X.
And a question: Is there a hidden command to reset the Pa4X to the power-up conditions.

Background.
I was playing a sequence recorded on the Pa4X . I sent the MIDI data over USB from Logic Pro. I only needed to do a few minor edits to the accompaniment track at a few locations. The MIDI file saved by Pa4X contains one track with SysX commands. I usually mute the track, but here I heard that the piano sound was more to my liking with the SysX track activated, so I activated it. I also had recorded the song with a fade out by pressing the fade-button on Pa4X. It sounded perfect, and if I was going to do it with midi commands, I could draw a midi controller volume curve, but since it sounded perfect I could leave the sysex track activated.

However, after having played the song, the Pa4X gave no sound !

Replaying the sequence resulted in no sound. playing the keyboard gave no sound. So there were no SysX messages in the beginning of the file that was resetting the volume reduction and complete quenching caused by the fade-out. Under normal operation, the necessary reset must come from the operation of the Pa4X itself, but are not put i the song file.

The Pa4X remains silent when switching between song play mode and style play mode, or selecting different styles. And a user could power down the Ps4X to reset it. Fortunately the sound comes back by switching between Sequencer mode and Style mode, so there is not a big crisis if one knows about it.

peace
