Arpeggio Parameters - Korg KingKORG Parameter Manual

KingKORG Parameter Guide
Disable:
The high-frequency portion will be mixed whenever the audio source is
being input to the modulator.
Enable:
The high-frequency portion of the audio source will be mixed only when
the internal sound generator (Timbre A) is producing sound.
v09~14: Voc .Filter (Vocoder Filter)
Here you can adjust the settings for the carrier's sixteen band-pass filters and
modulator's envelope filter. You'll be using these parameters frequently, since
they play an important role in determining the character of the vocoder.
Formant Shift . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [–2...+2]
This shifts the cutoff frequencies of each of the carrier's band pass filters. This
will significantly change the character of the vocoder output.
Offset (Fc Offset) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[–63...+63]
This continuously shifts the cutoff frequency of each band-pass filter (Syn-
thesis filter) of the carrier.
"Formant Shift" and "OFFSET"
When Formant Shift="+0", Offset="+00", the response of the carrier fil-ters will
match the cutoff frequency of the modulator filters.
The filter response is shifted upward or downward in two discrete steps by the
"Formant Shift" This can be adjusted upward or downward a total of another
two steps by using "Offset," giving you a total of four steps of adjustment
upward or downward.

Resonance (Vocoder Resonance) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This specifies the amount of resonance for each of the carrier's sixteen
band-pass filters (the synthesis filter).
Higher settings will boost the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency.
ModSrc (Fc Modulation Source) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[EG1...MIDI3]
Selects the modulation source that will be applied to the carrier band-pass filter
"Offset".
TIP: The sources you can select are the same as the modulation sources for a virtual patch
(→ p.12). However, EG1–3, LFO1–2, Velocity, and KeyTrack will be the sources for
timbre A.
ModInt (Fc Modulation Intensity) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[–63...+63]
This specifies the depth of the modulation that is applied to the carrier
band-pass filter (Synthesis filter) "Offset".
E .F .Sens (Envelope Follower Sensitivity) . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...126, Hold]
This specifies the sensitivity of the modulator's Envelope Followers. Lower
settings of this value will allow the attacks of the input signal to be detected
more rapidly.
If you set this to "Hold", the character of the signal that is being input at that
moment will be held (Formant Freeze). Subsequently, the sound will retain that
character regardless of whether there is any input.
If you set this to "Hold" when there is no input signal present, there will
be no output even if an audio signal is subsequently input.
TIP: If you write the program with this value set to "Hold", the program will memorize the
response of the signal that was being held.

v15~18: Voc .Amp (Vocoder Amp)

directly (unaffected).
Wet Level (Vocoder Wet Level) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]

This parameter specifies the overall volume for the mixed sounds of the source
signal (Direct Level), the signal that has passed through the HPF (HPF Level),
and the vocoder sound (Wet Level).

Arpeggio parameters

Front Panel Arpeggio Parameters
TEMPO LED
This will blink at quarter-note intervals of the tempo specified by the "Arp"
page's Tempo setting.
ARP [TEMPO] button
Use this to turn the arpeggiator on/off, and to set the tempo.
The tempo setting will also affect the LFO speed and the delay time if
the "LFO1" or "LFO2" page parameter TempoSync is "On".
Using tap tempo to set the tempo
You can change the tempo by holding down the SHIFT/EXIT button and
pressing the ARP (TEMPO) button at intervals of the desired tempo setting.
The tempo will be changed when you hold down the SHIFT/EXIT button and
press the ARP (TEMPO) button at least twice. For greater accuracy, it's a good
idea to press it several times.
