need help with Pan and output settings

[Nifty560]

I want to have just factory piano come out the left channel output, and just factory strings come out right channel output.   I tried adjusting the pan settings found in the "mixer" mode, but there are still lingering sounds of the strings on the left (piano) channel,  and some piano on the right channel, even with full pan adjustments for both in the mixer. 

 

Any thoughts how to dedicate a main tone to a specific output channel without any bleed or lingering effects into the other channel?

 

Thanks

 

Mike

Yes.

 

Near the bottom of the mixer settings for each channel there are effects settimgs for reverb, chorus and delay. They take both channels (piano and strings) and apply the effect as a stereo effect and that's where the bleeding across channels comes from.

 

Zero these effects out (or drop them to a level where you can tolerate the bleeding) and you have pure piano and the left and pure strings on the right. NOTE: The sound will be rather dry. To mitigate that you might add effects in the design of a USER tone using your base paino and strings as starting points for a custom user tone with added reverb, chorus or delay as desired.

Thank you for your reply!

 

Any chance you can post a picture of the screen you are speaking of?   (the screen that shows the effects settings for reverb, chorus and delay for each channel)

When yu open the mixer you only see the 1st of three pages. That first page has the tone (you should see Piano and strings in slots 1 and 2) 

 

Use the Blue box with down arrows near 1/3 on the right to access Pages 2 and 3. (WHEN EVER YOU SEE THESE ARROWS THERE ARE HIDDEN PAGES IN THAT AREA).

 

Page 1:  tone, volume, pan

Page 2: Coarse tune, fine tune, bend range

Page 3: Reverb, chorus, delay <<< ZERO THESE OUT TO HAVE SPLIT CHANNELS WITHOUT LEAKAGE.

Will it matter which Port is showing when I make the changes you mentioned? ( A B C)

[mcdtracy]

MIDI by the standard is limited to 16 tracks. So, the PX-560 supports three simultaneous MIDI engines.

 

Port A is has16 midi channels for the live tracks.

 

Port B houses the MIDI Recorder system track and some more stuff (the details are in the manual on Page 101). GET TO KNOW THE PDF FILE OF THE MANUAL or an online site to

see it in a browser. It's got a ton of useful info.

 

PORT C is the MIDI Recorder Playback channels and I *think* the rhythm tracks happen here so that's where to set PAN, etc for the backing stuff driven by MIDI (rhythm tracks).

 

When the tracks are playing and the Mixer is open you'll see volume events in the bottom of the mixer. Muting (or solo'ing) tracks can help determine what's playing on the track.

There is a much easier way to disable reverb for everything.  Simply press menu>effects>turn on system effects bypass. 

 

Note: A tone edited to add reverb after removing reverb via the mixer undo's the mixer reverb level previously set.  The reverb setting found in tone editing is simply a stored reverb value that the mixer jumps to when a tone is called up.  

 

Also important: For hard panning piano, you'll want to use the mono piano tones, not the stereo concert grand tones.
