The TouchView™
interface
Pa500 features an easy-to-use graphical user interface, based on
Korg's patented TouchView™ interface. Here are the basic ele-
ments 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 press a Sound, Style, STS, Pad or Song name, a select-
ing window overlaps the current page. After you select an item in
graphical user
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. Press one of the button on the display to give Pa500 an
answer, and the dialog box will close.
Page menus
Press 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, press any-
where else on the screen to make it disappear, with no command
selected).
Pop-up menus
When an arrow appears next to a parameter name, press 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).
