Sound Balance Pa1000 Knobs

Post by ecca »

Hi All, Can anyone please tell me what they have rated a regular
setting for the four knobs on the left of the Pa1000.

I find it difficult to balance the knobs, Master Volume and Balance
speak for themselves but the assignable from the drop down lists
to me are a minefield.
I know what they are showing but I haven't found anything that suited
the majority of playing.

No problem with its big brother for me but the 1000 I am constantly trying
to balance.

I find it unusual too. I would turn the knobs to zero after each time you turn on the unit. Then set it to last knob setting. It almost seems to reset to 50% volume when move the volume knob if set at about 3/4. Maybe someone else experience this or have a fix? Note: have the balance knob set to accompaniment/song volume and an assignable knob to keyboard expression.
I find the expression pedal Setting a bit strange too...I get a better expression when I use midi over Bluetooth pedal as in this video:
