I've been having a great time with the PX-5S, each day getting a better understanding of the Stage Settings, amazed at the flexibility of this machine.
The stage setting I'm currently experimenting with:
Zone 1 = Drums (with a Phrase loop, triggered to start with Pedal2)
Zone 2 = Bass for the low octaves
Zone 3 = Pad
Zone 4 = Synth
I like to do a lot of stop/start of the beat in songs, and I'm finding that due to my own bad timing, I'm restarting the drums either early or late. I think I need to just MUTE the drum Phrase to ensure that the measures of silence are still staying 'on the beat'. Even though the S1 slider currently controls the expression of Zone 1, I would prefer to have the volume controlled by my Pedal1.
Is it possible for Pedal1 to mute the drums when held down, then for the drums to return at the original volume upon release?? All the while not impacting any of the other sounds, and I still want Pedal2 to be the initial trigger for the Phrase starting. Any ideas, please share! Thanks yall for your time 😀
