Jay C Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Ok. So I have this phrase recorded on the PX-5S that was made for a particular hex layer tone I made. I want to playback the phrase as a part of a song sequence where: track1 is the phrase for the hex layer tone and track2 plays another phrase consisting of a drum pattern. Now, in the song mixer I can tell the PX-5s which instrument or tone I want to use for a particular track. I succeeded in picking a drum set for the drum phrase. However, I can't select the said hex layer tone as my tone for the phrase in track1. I consulted the tutorial manual for the PX-5S and according to it, in its tone list, (page E-45), the program change number for user hex layer tones 050-127 is 50-127, while the Bank Select MSB Value is 97 For hex layer tones 128-199 the program change number is 0-71 and the Bank select MSB value is 98. I tried to dial in the corresponding program change number with Bank Select MSB set to 97 and 98 - but I don't see my hexlayer tone as a selected tone. Any suggestions? Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks. Jay 🎹 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Brad Saucier Posted September 23, 2022 Solution Share Posted September 23, 2022 The same rules still apply to hex layer tones in the song sequencer as stage settings do. The PX-5S is a 16 part multi-timbral instrument, and only parts 1 and 2 (zones 1 and 2) can handle hex layer tones. You need to edit the song, go to the song mixer and channel the output channel to 1 or 2 for each track you want using a hex layer tone. Another note, if you happen to create a user drum tone in the future, user drums will only work on channel 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
