Songbook; Book - Korg PA1X User Manual

SongBook

The SongBook is an onboard database that allows you to orga-
nize various "musical resources" (Style, Standard MIDI Files,
KAR files, and – optionally – MP3 files) for easy retrieving.
The SongBook mode overlaps the Style Play and Song Play oper-
ating modes. When you select an entry from the database, the
Style Play or Song Play mode is automatically selected, depend-
ing on the type of file associated with the entry.
In addition to helping you organize your shows, the SongBook
allows you to associate up to four STSs to each Standard MIDI
File or MP3, played back in Song Play mode. This way, it is easy
to recall a complete setup for Keyboard tracks, effects, and the
Voice Processor, for realtime playing over a midifile or MP3.
For more information on using the SongBook, see the Quick
Guide (starting from page 56).
Note: SongBook entries do not include actual data, but only a
pointer to a Style in memory, a Standard MIDI File, or an MP3
file. When you copy a SongBook file, referenced files are not copied
with it.
Warning: If you load a SongBook list from disk (".SBD" file), the
existing one in memory is deleted. Save your old SongBook list
before loading a new one.

Book

The Book page contains the full database of song entries (i.e., an
".SBD" file). While in this page, you can select an entry, and press
the Select button in the display to start playback.
If the "Enable List Edit" command is selected in the page menu
(see above), the "Add to list" button becomes available, to let you
add entries to the selected Custom List.
List Header
Each entry of this database may include the song's author, name,
genre, original key, tempo and meter. When selecting one of the
entries, the associated Style, MP3 or Standard MIDI File is auto-
matically recalled.
List Header
The List Header may change, depending on the type of data
associated with the selected entry.
• When a Style is associated to the entry, the currently
selected entry's name is shown on the left ("N:"), and the
associated Style is shown on the right ("Style:"):
• When a Standard MIDI File or MP3 is associated to the
entry, the list header is split into two parts, with the left half
referring to Sequencer 1, and the right one referring to
Sequencer 2.
Information for the selected entry's name ("N:") and asso-
ciated Standard MIDI File or MP3 ("S1:" or "S2:") is given
for each sequencer:
Note: If you select a different Style, Standard MIDI File or
MP3, the entry's name field ("N:") returns blank (---),
meaning the entry has been modified.
