Listening To The Demos - Korg C1 Owner's Manual

Listening to the Demos

Built into the C1/C1 Air are 50 preprogrammed songs. Of
these, 10 are Sound Demo Songs that highlight the quality
of various internal sounds. The other 40 are familiar Piano
Songs and etudes.
During playback of a sound demo song, the settings for
effects (reverb and chorus) cannot be changed.

Listening to a Piano Song
As with the Sound Demo Songs, you can play along on the
keyboard while any of the Piano Songs play. As you play
along, you can change the tempo, slowing the playback
down to practice a particular tricky part. In addition, the
right-hand and left-hand parts can be muted individually,
to focus on learning one part as the C1/C1 Air plays the
other.

With Piano Songs, the left hand is usually assigned to Part
Russell Ferrante 1 and the right hand to Part 2.
By muting one of the parts, the C1/C1 Air will play only one
of the parts—or hands—and you can play the muted part.
The part you play is up to you.
1. To mute the left-hand part, press the PART1 button;
the button blinks in green. To mute the right-hand
part, press the PART2 button; the button blinks in
