mike71 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I have stumbled on a problen on my PX-5S. I have a phrase, and I like to play it on a specific MIDI channeo or zone. Normally if I plays a phrase, it will play on zone 1. If i put it in a song it will play on channel 5 by default but is easy to route on another MIDI channel. But I haven't found the MIDI channel to set into a phrase to make it ply on another channel. Reading the manua seems that is fixed to 1 and not modifiable. Or thre's a method to having a phrase moved on the fly on another channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 We have three ways to play phrases on the PX-5S, two of which you have mentioned already. The most obvious is the phrase recorder/player. That is fixed to channel 1/zone 1 and cannot be changed. The song sequencer is another and allows up to 8 tracks of phrases at once. The third method is using the four arpeggiators. A single phrase can be assigned to each zone by changing the arpeggiators to phrase mode. You'll need to use a key to trigger playback. Turn on arpeggio hold to keep it playing without holding the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike71 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Ok, this is a bit conterinuitive but makes some sense if you think phrases a an arpeggio variant and phrase recorder/player as a strict editing system. May I say that is a bit weird? Because I can't see why one can't choose the zone. I could hope that this will be fixed in a software update...
