Interface basics

The Color TouchView™ graphical user
interface
Pa800 features an easy-to-use graphical user interface, based on
Korg's patented Color TouchView™ interface. Here are the basic
elements of the user's interface.
Pages
Parameters are grouped into separate pages, to be selected by
touching the corresponding tabs on the lower part of the display.
Menus and sections
Pages are grouped in sections, to be selected by touching the cor-
responding buttons in the Edit menu that opens up when you
press the MENU button.
Selectable items
A triangle next to the name of a Sound, Style, STS, Pad or Song,
means that you can select it and replace it with a different ele-
ment. Touch the item's name and make the corresponding Select
window appear.
Overlapping windows
When you touch a Sound, Style, STS, Pad or Song name, a
selecting window overlaps the current page. After you select an
The Color TouchView™ graphical user interface
item in the window, or press the EXIT button, the window
closes, and the underlying page is shown again.
Dialog boxes
Similar to selecting windows, dialog boxes overlap the underlay-
ing page. Touch one of the buttons in the display to give Pa800
an answer, and the dialog box will close.
Page menus
Touch the icon on the upper right corner of each page, and a
menu with suitable commands for the current page will appear.
Touch one of the available commands to select it. (Or, touch
anywhere else on the screen to make it disappear, with no com-
mand selected).
Pop-up menus
When an arrow appears next to a parameter name, touch it to
open a pop-up menu. Select any of the available options (or any-
where else on the screen to make the menu disappear).
