The SongBook

Selecting the desired entry from the Main List

The SongBook
One of the most powerful features of the Pa1X is the onboard music database, that allows you to orga-
nize your Styles and Songs (in SMF, KAR and – optionally – MP3 format) for easy retrieving. Each
entry of this database may include the artist, title, genre, number, key, tempo, and meter of a specified
song. When selecting one of the entries, the associated Style, MP3 or Standard MIDI File is automati-
cally recalled.
In addition to helping you organizing your shows, the SongBook allows you to associate up to four
STSs to each Standard MIDI File or MP3. This way, it is easy to recall a complete setup for Keyboard
tracks, effects, and the Voice Processor, for realtime playing over a Standard MIDI File or MP3.
You can add your own entries to the SongBook, as well as edit the existing ones. Korg has already sup-
plied some hundred entries as standard. Furthermore, the SongBook allows you to create various cus-
tom lists, that may suit your different shows.
Selecting the desired entry from the Main List
A large database is already included with the instrument, and you can later customize it. You may
