Hi Tony,
whoever wrote the pa900 manual should be throttled . They lumped style and pad recording into one section, I can't tell if you have this function or not.
Page 151 { full manual } is what I'm referring to.
Style /Pad Edit, copy from style. I t appears to be referring to a style, in PA 3x, this function also exists for Pads, fingers crossed.
I did the following.
Hit Record button, choose New Pad.
Hit Menu Button Pad Edit
Choose Copy from Style Tab
Select the style, the variation, the correct style track,
Leave CV to All.
Press Execute , Exit, you should be back to the main pad record page.
Turn Pad Sync to Continued ( means no matter when you press pad whilst playing style, it will sync to style).
Press Menu, Choose Pad Track Control.
Pad Type Change from One Shot to Loop . ( One shot is for hits ie drums, horn stabs, etc
loops for stuff like strumming guitars, pianos etc stuff that repeats.
Track Type, choose acc, in this instance, don't choose gtr. even though its a guitar pad, it isn't a Guitar Mode track , its a midi track not a guitar mode track. you can tell if you go to event edit.
if the events suggest normal chord notes its a midi track.
if the notes are really weird and don't appear to be based on chords,its a gtr guitar mode track.
a lot of the guitar tracks have been updated to guitar mode, but not all.
Don't worry about the rest of the settings, they should be reasonably right. Don't even worry about tempo, it adjusts to the style.
when done, drop down menu write pad and choose an empty user slot.
Hopefully this is do able if not, has to be done via import/export which is a bit more complex.
