KingKORG NEO Parameter Guide

If "Trigger" is selected, and a large number of keys are pressed

simultaneously, a maximum of six notes starting from the lowest pitch will

be detected and sounded. However if you're using settings that cause a

single note to sound a large number of voices, limitations of the maximum

polyphony might mean that not all of the notes can be sounded.

by [TEMPO] knob.

tempo.

1/4

The arpeggio will be played as quarter notes at the specified

tempo.

This specifies the duration (gate time) of the arpeggiated notes, as a

percentage (%). With a setting of "001%", each note will be extremely short. If

set to "100%", each note will continue playing until the next step.

This specifies the percentage (%) by which even-numbered notes of the

arpeggio will be shifted in timing relative to the first note.

TIP:

A setting of "+33%" will produce a perfect shuffle timing.

Here you can turn each step of the arpeggio pattern on/off. This is a way to

give more variety to arpeggios that might become boring.

This is available for the steps up to the Last Step.

Editing a step

Press the PROGRAM (GLOBAL) button to enter Program mode.

Use the PAGE +/– buttons to access the "a12:Arp" page.

Press the VALUE dial.

Use the PAGE+/– buttons to move the " " to the step that you want

to edit.

GLOBAL parameters

To edit the GLOBAL parameters, hold down the SHIFT/EXIT button and press

the PROGRAM (GLOBAL) button. To move between pages, use the PAGE+/–

buttons or the category/favorite buttons.

Changes you make to Global parameter settings will be lost when you

turn off the power. If you want to keep the changes you make, you must

save the GLOBAL parameters

g01~09: Common

The settings you make from the global screen will apply to the entire

KingKORG NEO, such as the overall tuning and the velocity curve.

Mst .Tune (Master Tune) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[430 .0Hz...450 .0Hz]

Adjusts the overall pitch in 0.1 Hz steps, in terms of A4 as the reference pitch.

Use this when you need to tune the pitch of the KingKORG NEO to other

instruments.

Adjusts the overall pitch in steps of a semitone (100 cents) over a range of one

octave up or down. Use this when you want to transpose to suit the song you

are playing.

Specifies the internal MIDI IN/OUT routing within the KingKORG NEO. This

setting will affect the way that MIDI data is transmitted and received, and how

the arpeggiator data is handled.

If you've recalled a program whose KeyResponse

"Shlw" or "Deep," the keyboard will always output a velocity of 64, and

your keyboard playing will not be affected by the VelCurve setting.

PostKBD:

Data received from the MIDI IN connector will be sent to the timbres

without being affected by the Global settings. The data that is output by

the keyboard will be converted according to the Global settings, be routed

through the arpeggiator, and then sent to the MIDI OUT connector.
