General Controls: Lock - Korg pa 500 User Manual

Key
This parameter is needed by some scales to set the preferred key
(see "Scales" on page 272).
User Quarter Tone SubScale
SC Preset buttons
Press these buttons to recall the corresponding presets. Each pre-
set contains a custom detuning of each note of the scale (shown
in the upper scale diagram). It also memorizes the selected
degree(s) of the scale (shown in the lower scale diagram).
When no preset is selected, the default scale is automatically
recalled. This scale assigns a -50 cent value to all notes, and turns
all scale degrees off.
You can select an SC Preset, also by assigning the relevant func-
tion to the Assignable Switch or Assignable Footswitch.
When one of the SC Preset buttons on the control panel is kept
pressed for more than one second, the current scale program-
ming is saved to the corresponding preset. A confirmation mes-
sage will appear for some seconds in the display. (Only available
on some models).
As an alternative, while in this page, choose the "Write SC Pre-
set" command from the page menu, and select one of the preset
locations where to save the current settings.
Upper scale diagram
Use this diagram to set the detuning of each note of the scale.
-99...0...+99 Note detuning in cents. Zero is no detuning, ±50
is a full quarter tone up or down, ±99 is nearly
one whole semitone up or down.
Lower scale diagram
Use this scale to turn detuning on or off. Applied detuning will
depend on the programming set with the Upper scale diagram,
or recalled by selecting one of the SC Presets.
When a note is detuned, a black dot appears in the correspond-
ing note of the diagram. An LED turns on over the correspond-
ing key of the Quarter Tone SubScale Keypad in the control
panel (only available on some models).

General Controls: Lock

This page, split in four panes that can be selected by means of
the corresponding side tabs, contains all the available locks,
sometimes grouped under just a single lock. Locks prevent
parameter values to be changed when loading data from a card,
or selecting a different Performance, Style or STS.
Locks
All the available locks. Lock them to prevent changes due to
loading or selecting different elements. These locks are also
found in various other pages, next to the locked parameter.
Hint: To save the status of the various parameters as a fixed status
for the Pa500, save all the parameters to Performance 1 of bank 1
(automatically selected when turning on the instrument), and save
these locks to the Global.
Lock–Tuning pane
Master Transpose
When locked, master transpose is not automati-
cally changed when selecting a different Perfor-
mance or Style.
(See "Master transpose" on page 81).
Style Performance Master Transpose Lock
When closed, this lock prevents a Style change to
modify the Master Transpose. When open,
changing a Style may also change the Master
Transpose.
(See "Master transpose" on page 81).
Hint: In order to avoid having the Master Trans-
pose setting change when selecting a new Perfor-
mance or STS, use the general Master Transpose
Lock (the first parameter in this page).
Note: When the Master Transpose Lock is closed,
this parameter has no effect. However, the Master
Transpose Lock also locks the Style Performance
Transpose.
Sub Scale/Quarter Tone
When locked, selecting a Performance or STS will
not change the Sub-Scale or Quarter Tone value.
(See "Sub-Scale panel" on page 85).
