Template Songs - Korg KROME EX Quick Start Manual

Using the sequencer

Template songs

Template songs contain sounds and effects that are
suitable for a specific musical style, so you can
immediately get started creating a song simply by
selecting an appropriate template. In addition to the
preset templates, you can create your own original
template songs containing your frequently-used
sounds.
The sixteen preset template songs (P00–P15) contain
track parameter settings such as program, volume, and
pan, as well as effect, arpeggiator, track parameter, and
tempo settings.
Note that Template Songs do not include MIDI data for
song tracks and patterns, and so on.
1. In the Sequencer P0: Play/REC page, press the
menu command button and select the Load
Template Song command.
A dialog box will appear.
2. In the From field, choose the Template Song that
you want to load.
3. Check the "Copy Pattern to Track too?" check-box.
When this box is checked, a dialog box for copying a
pattern will automatically appear after Load Template
Song is complete.
If this is not checked, only the selected Template Song
will be loaded.
4. Press the OK button to load the template song, or
press the Cancel button to exit without making
changes.
When you press OK, the Template Song's settings will
be copied into the current Song.
If Copy Pattern to Track too? was checked in step 3,
the Copy Pattern to Track dialog box will appear.
5. Use the Bank (User or Preset) and Pattern popups
to select a pattern to copy.

6. In the To Track field, select the track to use for the
pattern.
Note: In each of the sixteen preset Template Songs,
track 1 is always assigned to a Drum Program. (In
some cases, other tracks may also have Drum
Programs.)
7. In the Measure field, set the measure where you'd
like the pattern to start.
Following the names for each of the 710 preset
patterns, the musical style and the name of the most
suitable Drum Programs are partially displayed.
By loading a Drum Program and the corresponding
preset pattern, you can instantly set up a drum track to
match the Template Song.
8. To load the pattern, press the OK button.
After the pattern is loaded, the Measure will count up
automatically. You can then copy another pattern if
desired. For instance, you can use different patterns
one after the other to build up a song, with different
patterns for verse, chorus, and bridge.
After you've finished adding patterns, press the Exit
button, and you're done!

track" on page 16.
